Measures of Australia's Progress: Summary Indicators 2008 provides a national summary of the most important areas of progress (including: Individuals, The economy and economic resources, The environment, and Living together) and presents them in a way which can be quickly understood. The purpose of Measures of Australia's Progress (MAP) is to inform and stimulate public debate and encourage all Australians to assess the bigger picture when contemplating progress.

This release focuses on 14 headline dimensions of progress and their headline indicators. Only the headline indicators have been graphed. However, while some dimensions have more than one headline indicator and others have none, relevant indicators, which measure one or more important aspects of progress, are still included for all dimensions.
