Zeitindah ka pehtlaihnak konglam na hmuh? 

  • There are two ways you could have been invited:
    • It is most likely that your mobile phone number was randomly selected by SamplePages. They randomly select phone numbers from all possible Australian mobile phone numbers and then check whether the number is active before giving it to the Social Research Centre. For more information about this, you can visit the SamplePages website kaa hin
    • If the SMS inviting you to join the study mentioned that you were referred by a member of your household, then your contact information was provided by a household member who is already a member of Life in Australia™. When we requested that they provide us with your contact information, we asked them to let you know that you would receive an invitation.

More people knew that being physically and socially active, learning new things, cutting down on excessive drinking, and preventing head injuries helped.
    • Mah cu Australian Unity Wellbeing Index, which has tracked how Australians feel since 2002. In 2024, the Index showed that we’re feeling worse than ever, driven by the high cost of living. One in two adults under 55 reported going without essential items because of money pressures.
    • A Lowy Institute Mini-Poll about the U.S. election which revealed that Australians had very different views to Americans about who would be best to serve as U.S. president, with 73% preferring Kamala Harris, as compared to the 50% of American voters who put Donald Trump first.

Why is Life in Australia™ important?

  • Researchers in government, not-for-profit organisations, and academic institutions often need to reach a representative sample of Australians (called a random sample or probability sample). This means they need to hear from people from all walks of life so their results can reflect the views and experiences of all Australians.
  • Australia nunnak is the only study of its kind in Australia to have recruited a representative sample of people to do monthly surveys, meaning that our survey results better represent all Australians. This makes the Life in Australia™ study unique in research in Australia.
