Regional Wellbeing Survey

The University of Canberra conducts a Regional Wellbeing Survey each year. The aim is to support research that improves the wellbeing and quality of life of people living in rural and regional Australia. The results of the survey help to provide insights that support the development of strategies to build wellbeing, resilience and adaptive capacity in these regions.

The Regional Wellbeing Survey has six parts:

• Questions about the quality of life and liveability of your community.

• Questions about your health and wellbeing, and your household.

• Questions about the drought and its effects.

• Questions about land management and farming (with some parts only asked if you are a farmer).

Taking part in the survey lets you have your say on issues ranging from how your community is changing, your health, and your wellbeing. The survey is voluntary, confidential and anonymous, and you can choose to do a short or regular version. All survey participants aged 18 or over who complete the survey by midnight on Friday, 20 December can enter the draw with a chance to win one of 18 prizes to the total value of $7,000.

Call 1800 981 499 if you'd like to be posted a paper survey or for help with the survey.

There is no limit on how many people in each household can complete the survey if they wish.
