The report explores possible measures of different wellbeing indicators proposed in the ACT Government ACT Wellbeing Framework, which was released in March 2020 (ACT Government 2020).
First conducted in 2019, the survey aims to provide information that can be used to better understand how the wellbeing of people in the ACT region is influenced by the many social, economic and environmental factors.
The results of the survey are used in a range of ways. In particular, the data are used as part of the ACT Government’s tracking of the wellbeing of Canberrans, as part of the ACT Wellbeing Framework – see https://www.act.gov.au/wellbeing/explore-overall-wellbeing.
