30 April 2011This selection of data sources helps describe community wellbeing in Victoria. They cover a broad range of topics from population, social and multicultural features, services and facilities, children and families, health, disadvantage, participation, amenity, economy, industry and transport.

For each resource there is:

  • a link to the data source.

The geographic key is described below. Maps of these geographic boundaries, and others, can be found at the Victorian Government’s website Maps Online (Department of Sustainability and Environment). http://www.dse.vic.gov.au/land/lcnlc2.nsf/alltitle/Maps+and+Images
