Filling the Gaps in Wellbeing Measurement
Oct 23, 2025
The Atlas team was invited to present at the Third National Forum on Australia’s Wellbeing 2025, joining a session focused on “Filling the Gaps in Wellbeing Measurement.” The panel brought together three speakers, including Atlas project manager Marketa Reeves, Matthew Iasiello (BeWell Co, University of Adelaide), and Franka Vaughan (University of Melbourne) to discuss how we can move toward clearer, more actionable wellbeing data. Chair Jackie Shurmer opened by noting that while interest in measuring wellbeing is higher than ever, existing tools don’t always give decision-makers the insights they need. The speakers shared the practical challenges they’re navigating, the innovative ways they’re addressing data gaps, and how stronger measurement can lead to real-world impact. The session closed with a panel Q&A exploring audience questions and the future of wellbeing data in Australia.
