WPI – Wage Price Index

WPI statistics are published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

The WPI is proposed as the basis for an alternative indexation calculation for the purposes of HECS/HELP loans annual indexations.

The proposal is that indexation for each year will be the lower of CPI or WPI.
