Living in Australia 2025 National Community Views Survey Key Insights Launch

Please join us for the Living in Australia 2025: National Community Views Survey key insights launch on Tuesday, 9 September 2025, from 12:30 p.m. (AEST).

Drawing on insights from our annually updated Living in Australia survey, this session will explore how we can better understand changing patterns of liveability and use this knowledge to make decisions today that help build stronger, more resilient and productive communities for the future.

The webinar will:

Report on Australia’s Overall Liveability Index for 2025, highlighting its decline over the past 12 months and showing where, why and for whom this has occurred.

Explain what Australians believe makes somewhere a good place to live, how these attributes are experienced in local areas, how this relationship shapes overall liveability, and the priorities residents identify to advance quality of life.
Take a deeper look at the four attributes Australians consistently say matter most – feeling safe, affordable decent housing, access to the natural environment and high quality health services. Explore how these are closely connected and share ideas from the community about how strengthening them together offers the greatest opportunity to advance quality of life.
Explore how understanding local area demographics, population futures and economic characteristics provides additional context for how liveability is experienced and where improvements can be made.

The insights and data from Living in Australia provide spatial benchmarking for councils and other organisations that subscribe to .id’s Community Views Service.

Community Views uses a survey-based approach to inform, monitor and evaluate a diverse range of strategic planning and advocacy activities.
