Life Course Data Initiative

Print

The Life Course Data Initiative (LCDI) pilot is being delivered, over the period 2023-24 to 2026-27, in partnership between the ABS and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Government and with South Australia (SA) through the SA Government and University of Adelaide’s BetterStart. 

The LCDI will create an evidence-base, bringing together data from a range of early childhood, health and community services, and associated data insights, to inform long term policy responses to address disadvantage. The LCDI focuses on addressing evidence gaps about the early years of Australians’ lives, particularly ages 0-14 years, to better understand and target disadvantage.
