Australia's General Social Survey


This is an important national survey that collects information about how people in Australia feel about different aspects of their lives, including community participation, support, and feelings of trust and life satisfaction.

Your participation is an opportunity to make a real difference. The information you provide will contribute to important decisions being made for your local area and the wider Australian community, such as decisions
about employment, families, community services and volunteering in Australia. To find out more about this survey, see our Frequently Asked Questions page.
