Higher interest rates, price pressures and dicey global conditions are expected to keep growth on the subdued side in the June quarter.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics will release the national accounts on Wednesday.

Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers warned the results may be underwhelming.

"What we've seen in recent data is the impact of higher interest rates, high but moderating inflation, and also this continuing global uncertainty on our economy," Dr Chalmers said on Tuesday.

Speaking in the wake of the Reserve Bank's decision to keep interest rates on hold in September, Dr Chalmers expected to see the challenges showing up in the national accounts "in one way or another".

In the three months to March, the economy grew a modest 0.2 per cent, and 2.3 per cent on an annual basis.

Ahead of the June result, forecasters were feeling more upbeat following the release of some of the last remaining data points that slot into GDP, with the strong results enough to stamp out fears of a negative quarter of economic activity.

Commonwealth Bank updated its forecast higher in the wake of strong public demand and net exports data, with the bank now pencilling 0.5 per cent quarterly growth and a 1.9 per cent lift over the year.

Economist Stephen Wu said the results would mask weakness in private demand, which includes household spending and dwelling investment.

"Instead, the pick-up in GDP growth reflects comparative strength in the public and external sector as well as rapid population growth," he predicted.

ANZ also upgraded its forecasts on Tuesday.

The bank's economists are expecting a 0.4 per cent lift in GDP over the quarter and a 1.9 per cent rise on a year-on-year basis.

The national accounts report also includes measures of labour cost growth and productivity.

The police officer accused of tasering a 95-year-old dementia patient who later died is set to face court again.

Senior Constable Kristian White, 33, has been charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault.

Senior Constable Kristian White remains on bail while a court awaits a post-mortem report into the death of dementia patient Clare Nowland.

The NSW police officer has been charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault after 95-year-old Ms Nowland was tasered in a nursing home.

White, 33, and his partner remained steadfast in front of reporters outside Cooma Local Court on Wednesday and he maintained his silence while being peppered with questions.

Magistrate Roger Clisdell had lambasted the NSW Director of Public Prosecutions for allowing White to dial in via video link for his first court mention in July.

But White has been excused from appearing in court until his committal hearing.

White was suspended from the NSW Police Force with pay following the incident.

Expanding trade and investment ties with Southeast Asia will be on the agenda for Anthony Albanese as he attends a series of summits.

The prime minister flew out on Tuesday for Indonesia, where he will attend the ASEAN and East Asia Summits in Jakarta.

The visit will be the first stop in his week-long trip to Asia, which includes a visit to the Philippines for bilateral talks before heading to India for the G20 summit.

Mr Albanese will use the Jakarta visit to unveil Australia's Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040.

The prime minister said boosting economic ties with Southeast Asia would be crucial, with the region on track to be the fourth-largest economy.

"This is a most substantive piece of work ever done about Australia's relations when it comes to our economic future with Southeast Asia," Mr Albanese told parliament.

He said the strategy - which covers agriculture, resources, renewable energy and education among other sectors - would boost Australia's prosperity and lift living standards across the region.

It was developed by former banker Nicholas Moore, who serves as the special envoy to Southeast Asia, in consultation with business leaders and academics.

"I will announce tomorrow the first steps we are taking to implement the strategy," Mr Albanese said.

Two-way trade between Australia and ASEAN nations - which include Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia - was worth $178 billion in 2022.

The strategy will be formally announced at the ASEAN Indo-Pacific Forum.

Regional security, green infrastructure and making supply chains more resilient will also be on the agenda.

While in Indonesia, the prime minister will hold one-on-one talks with other world leaders including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

He will also hold bilateral meetings with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and East Timor Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao, the first time Mr Albanese will have formal talks with either leader.

Mr Albanese is also set to attend a business reception in Jakarta.

President Joe Biden is not attending the East Asia Summit, with Vice President Kamala Harris to represent the US.

Chinese President Xi Jinping will skip the East Asia Summit as well as the G20 summit.

Australian Strategic Policy Institute analyst Gatra Priyandita said the emphasis on ASEAN was crucial for Australia to maintain its strategic focus in the region.

"Anthony Albanese's attendance shows Australia is committed to multilateralism in relation to ASEAN, and ASEAN centrality," he told AAP.

"There's a longstanding argument that ASEAN loses out to regional players (as a forum), and at least the prime minister is trying to address that gap."
