Dive deeper into the data

Explore the State of Australia's children - by the Atlas's interactive platform. The platform showcases wellbeing indicators for children and young people by domain and at a state-based, regional and local community level.

Note on the data

The Atlas and the State of Australia’s Children (SoAC) report share the same goal - to spotlight the wellbeing of children in Australia - but they differ in scope.

The Atlas prioritises showing data at small area or community levels (at minimum state or territory). Because of this, it doesn’t include every indicator from the SoAC report. Indicators that are only available at the national level are not shown in the Atlas.

For some indicators, the Atlas uses different data sources to the SoAC report in order to provide data at small area levels.

Importantly, the SoAC report was published in November 2025 using the most recent publicly available data at that time. The Atlas is regularly updated as new data becomes available. For this reason you may see variance in the data as time continues.
