What is Real Wellbeing?

For 20 years, the Australian Unity Wellbeing Index, developed with Deakin University, has measured and explored our wellbeing as individuals, a community and a nation.

If you’re thinking about your finances, you’re not alone. Our research shows that financial security is crucial to how we feel about our wellbeing.

Whether it’s your partner or your kids, our closest relationships play a defining role in our overall wellbeing.

A sense of purpose in life is the drive that gets us out of bed each day, and it plays a core role in our overall wellbeing.

Whether it’s your life partner or a tight circle of friends, your relationships could be the ultimate investment in your wellbeing.

From pandemics to party politics, our sense of wellbeing is linked to the way our government responds to the issues of the day.

When it comes to the simple act of volunteering, the more we give, the happier we feel. 

The wellbeing of Australians was remarkably resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic.
