Understanding people and communities in rural and regional Australia

The University of Canberra Regional Wellbeing team invites everyone to participate in this year’s Regional Wellbeing Survey. By participating, you help make a difference to communities across Australia, as well as being eligible to enter their prize draws to win one of 29 prizes worth a total of $9,200.

This year there is a special focus on understanding how events including COVID-19, drought, bushfire and floods are affecting people and communities across Australia (as well as asking some of the usual questions). You can do a short or long version of the survey, depending on how much time you have available.

Your contribution makes a difference. A range of community, farming and health organisations use this data and findings. Find out more at www.regionalwellbeing.org.au.

Complete the survey online using www.regionalwellbeing.org.au

It is recommended that you complete the survey on a computer or iPad/tablet if possible, rather than on a smart phone.

In 2020 it’s more important than ever for us to understand how the wellbeing of different people and communities is changing. The team will be producing their first report on impacts of events of 2020 in December 2020, followed by more during 2021.

All survey participants aged 18 or older who complete the survey either online by going to www.regionalwellbeing.org.au or return a completed paper survey will be eligible to enter the draw to win prizes in (i) 11 weekly draws (valued at $200 each), and (ii) a grand prize draw for one of 18 prizes to the total prize pool value of $7000. Winners will have their choice of a WISH, Coles-Myer, Bunnings or Flight Centre gift card, or to donate their winning value to Australian Red Cross, Blaze Aid, WIRES or a charity of choice (limited to organisations formally registered as charities).

The survey is voluntary, confidential and anonymous, and closes on 30th October 2020, at midnight.
