Framework for measuring wellbeing: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, 2010
This publication describes a framework to map statistical information about Indigenous people, in the context of the interrelationships with their social and physical environments.
Not only does it provide a means to present existing data, the framework also provides the means to identify potential data gaps.
The framework attempts to provide a holistic approach to the mapping of statistics about the wellbeing of Indigenous Australians. It is presented as a broad level document, balanced across selected themes or 'domains'. It will be used to guide the development of ABS Indigenous statistics, by providing an organisational structure to aid the identification of data gaps and areas for statistical improvements. It will also provide a useful structure for ABS reporting and analysis of Indigenous wellbeing.
