Ten to Men: The Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health, Release 4.1 (Sample Top-Up Recruitment)
No full textTen to Men: The Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health was commissioned by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing following the 2010 National Male Health Policy and currently serves the National Men’s Health Strategy 2020-2030. This is Australia’s first national longitudinal study that focuses exclusively on male health and wellbeing. The original cohort was recruited using a stratified, multi-stage and cluster sampling design to select males aged 10–55 years. Recruitment of eligible participants and Wave 1 of the data collection occurred between October 2013 and July 2014, resulting in a reconciled sample size of 16,021.
Due to attrition of the original sample, a top-up of the sample was conducted to recruit additional adult-aged males, including over-sampling priority population groups underrepresented in the sample. This included both a pilot (March 2022 - April 2022) and main sample top-up (September 2023 - April 2024; January 2025 - February 2025). Recruitment methods used were probability-based (address-based sampling (A-BS) and random digit dialling (RDD)) and non-probability based (social media advertising targeting underrepresented groups). A total of 10,004 additional participants were recruited
Wave 5 of the Longitudinal Survey of Retrenched Automotive Workers
No full textThis dataset presents the results of the Wave 5 of the Longitudinal Workers Survey of Retrenched Automotive Workers. Participants in our longitudinal workers survey had jobs which were earmarked for retrenchment leading up to the closure of assembly plants operated in Australia by General Motors Holden, Toyota Motor Company, and Ford. Participant contact information was passed on to the research team at the University of South Australia by the government partners of the project. Participants had provided consent for their details to be used for further communication as part of their engagement in retraining and transition services. All participants in Wave 5 had participated in the Wave 1 survey and in at least the Wave 2, 3 or 4 survey.
The study was developed to investigate the efficacy of private and public investments in pre-retrenchment counselling and training, by collecting data to help understand:
- Which factors affect decisions to exit or stay in the labour market;
- Which factors improve the chances of employment;
- Which factors shorten the spell of unemployment; and
- The intermittency of work careers and labour ‘branching’ processes
Colonial Frontier Massacres in Australia, 1788-1930

The map includes information about frontier massacres of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and non-Aboriginal people such as colonists and others in Australia in the same period. This information includes geospatial data for mapping massacres, conservative estimates on numbers killed, a brief narrative on each massacre, sources used, offline copies of the introductory and interpretative information from the project website, a screenshot of the web map, and a full printable list of all the massacres with their details. Please see the 'Introduction' document for a full description, including the criteria for inclusion of a massacre in this project
Future Work Future Communities - Stream 4 - Whyalla Community Leaders Interviews
No full textThe Whyalla Community Leaders dataset captures rich qualitative data from regional leaders regarding the transformative economic changes occurring in Whyalla, specifically focusing on the reinvestment in the steelworks. This research explores how leadership, government involvement, and business engagement influence the regional economic trajectory, alongside the societal and psychological impacts of such transitions.
The dataset provides insights into how leaders perceive the role of high-profile stakeholders like Sanjeev Gupta and the GFG Alliance in reshaping Whyalla's economic identity and instilling confidence in its future growth. It examines the comparative effectiveness of current initiatives against historical economic efforts over the past two to three decades, highlighting key differences that contribute to optimism about long-term prosperity.
Further, this dataset investigates the interplay between federal, state, and local governments in driving reinvestment and their perceived impacts on economic restructuring. It also delves into the local business community's responses to these changes, analyzing whether businesses align with the new economic activity led by GFG or pursue independent growth strategies.
Additionally, the dataset includes perspectives on Whyalla’s emerging strengths in renewable energy and its potential to shape the regional economy in the future. Leaders provide projections for the city’s development over the next 10 to 20 years, offering insights into anticipated challenges, opportunities, and strategies for sustainable growth.
This dataset provides a comprehensive view of the mechanisms driving economic transformation in Whyalla, enriched by the perspectives of its community leaders. It is a valuable resource for understanding the dynamics of regional economic renewal and the roles of leadership, policy, and local engagement in shaping such transitions
Australian Survey of Social Attitudes, 2023
No full textThe Australian Survey of Social Attitudes (AuSSA) is Australia’s main source of data for the scientific study of the social attitudes, beliefs and opinions of Australians, how they change over time, and how they compare with other societies. The survey is used to help researchers better understand how Australians think and feel about their lives. It produces important information about the changing views and attitudes of Australians as we move through the 21st century. Similar surveys are run in other countries, so data from the AuSSA also allows us to compare Australia with countries all over the world. The aims of the survey are to discover: the range of Australians’ views on topics that are important to all of us; how these views differ for people in different circumstances; how they have changed over the past quarter century; and how they compare with people in other countries. AuSSA is also the Australian component of the International Social Survey Project (ISSP). The ISSP is a cross-national collaboration on surveys covering important topics. Each year, survey researchers in some 40 countries each do a national survey using the same questions. The ISSP focuses on a special topic each year, repeating that topic from time to time. The topic for the 2023 survey is "National Identity and Citizenship". Previously the AuSSA ran National Identity (2013) and Citizenship (2014) as separate modules, but these have been combined to allow for a new module, "Digital Societies" expected to run in 2024. The data from questions B9-B13 and in all questions in sections C,E,F,G,H,I,J,K and questions L11,L42,L43_A,L43_B,L44_A,L44_B,L45,L46 are embargoed until 1 January 2027
Discrete Choice Experiment 2: Training Preferences
No full textThis dataset presents the results from a survey administered to 342 respondents who participated in the second Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) survey conducted between December 2023 and February 2024. These participants, recruited from a longitudinal survey cohort, provided insights into their preferences and experiences regarding job search training and employment assistance programs.
The survey examined respondents' perceptions of various employment programs, including job search training, career counselling, and vocational training options. Participants evaluated the importance and satisfaction levels of these programs, as well as their outcomes in terms of skill development and re-employment opportunities. A stated preference component required respondents to choose between hypothetical job and training scenarios that varied in attributes such as course delivery mode, financial support, and expected earnings impact.
The dataset is designed to provide a nuanced understanding of labour market dynamics, highlighting preferences for job training programs with a mix of practical and classroom learning, short course durations, and financial support. Respondents exhibited strong preferences for face-to-face learning and expressed a willingness to invest in training that promised substantial future earnings growth.
This dataset captures comprehensive data on employment preferences and the perceived effectiveness of assistance programs, offering valuable insights into strategies for enhancing labour market outcomes and designing effective re-employment initiatives
