Take our free Real Wellbeing test and see how you compare to fellow Aussies
Our sense of personal wellbeing reflects how satisfied we are with our own lives, and, how happy and content we are.
Extensive research shows that wellbeing matters a lot—for individuals, communities and entire countries.
How do you feel about your own wellbeing? We’ve found that getting the basics right can have a profound effect on how we feel and how satisfied we are with our lives.
Wellbeing is more than just “me”. Our connections and community—including family relationships, our work and the causes we’re passionate about—all play a role in contributing to our wellbeing.
Our wellbeing is affected by more than our own situation or experiences. The society in which we live and the events that shape our nation also play a role.
