New wellbeing data shows how regions across Australia score in health, income, housing and more.
Sydney's Northern beaches ranks as the highest in the nation for wellbeing, with only one Queensland city making it to the top 10, the annual index revealed today.
The Australian Capital Territory came in second due to its low gender wage gaps, climate change risks and the division of wealth.
Public policy adviser SGS Economics and Planning has today published its analysis of 518 local government areas (LGAs), assessing them on seven indicators:
economy
income and wealth
employment, knowledge and skills
housing
