WA Health and Wellbeing Surveillance System Datasets Added to the Atlas
New dataset
WA Health and Wellbeing Surveillance System datasets have been added to the Atlas under the 'Healthy' theme. The WA Health and Wellbeing Surveillance System (HWSS) is a continuous population-based survey established in 2002 to monitor the health and wellbeing of Western Australians. The survey collects information on a wide range of topics, including chronic health conditions, lifestyle risk and protective factors, mental health, socio-demographics, and health service utilisation.
For the Atlas, weighted population estimates were provided for children aged 0–15 years, aggregated across multiple years to improve reliability. Indicators include measures of: self-reported health status, disability impacting the family, injury requiring treatment, asthma prevalence, physical activity, sun protection, diet, screen time, sleep, bullying, emotional and behavioural difficulties, health service use, school wellbeing, and family functioning.
Data represent multi-year aggregated estimates covering 2015–2024, 2020–2024, and 2015–2023, and are reported at SA4 and State levels within Western Australia.
