Australian Cultural Fields: National and Transnational Dynamics - Household Interviews
No full textThe Australian Cultural Fields (ACF) questionnaire was modelled on the French
study pioneered by Pierre Bourdieu (1984). While there have been many subsequent
studies that have explored the cultural tastes and practices of particular
social groups or educational cohorts, or focused on particular cultural fields, there
have been only a few national surveys encompassing a wide range of cultural fields.
Such surveys have been conducted in Australia (Bennett et al., 1999), Britain
(Bennett et al., 2009), Denmark (Prieur et al., 2008) and Serbia (Cveticanin and
Popescu, 2011). In building on these earlier studies, the ACF survey sought to
address the distinctive socio-cultural coordinates of a settler-colonial society with
an Indigenous population asserting an increasingly strong cultural presence, and a
large and growing multicultural population with a rapidly changing composition
from mainly southern European sources of migration towards east and southern
Asia. The key innovations in questionnaire design are that, by opting for an in-depth
inquiry into patterns of consumption in the art, literary, sport, television,
heritage and music fields - but excluding other areas: film and culinary practices,
for example - we were able to go beyond questions relating to tastes for the main
genres and patterns of participation most strongly associated with those fields, to ask
our respondents whether they recognised, engaged with and, if so, liked or disliked
an extensive repertoire of named cultural items. These were further differentiated
according to whether they were international or Australian in provenance, ensuring
that the international items were spread across Europe and America with some
items from Asia. The Australian items identified for each field also included
examples of Indigenous culture available to 'mainstream Australia'.
The questions focused on the six cultural fields were followed by detailed
explorations of the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. These
included age, gender, occupation, class position and identification, level of education,
field of study and university attended for those with tertiary education, occupations of partners, levels of education for partners and parents, ethnicity and ethnic identification, country of birth, Indigenous identification, level of income,
capital holdings, housing and place of residence.
After the survey was completed, follow-up interviews with 42 participants were undertaken. Selection of those interviewed was based on accessing participants who reflected the issues and circumstances the project was examining, rather than statistically representative cohorts. Consequently, interviewees were selected to capture a range of people across age, gender, class, education and income levels. Fifteen of the participants came from the survey’s boost samples. Because of the difficulty of finding young Indigenous participants, we included an interview with one person in this category who had not completed the survey. While most interviewees were drawn from Sydney and Brisbane and their fringe areas, there was a selection from regional centres
Building a New Life in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Humanitarian Migrants, Release 6.1 (Waves 1-6)
No full textBuilding a New Life in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Humanitarian Migrants (BNLA) aims to identify factors which help or hinder positive settlement outcomes. BNLA follows 1,509 humanitarian migrating units who arrived in Australia or had their permanent visas granted in the six months between May and December 2013. Participants include offshore visa holders who arrived in Australia holding a permanent humanitarian visa and onshore visa holders who received their permanent protection visa between May and December 2013. Wave 1 took place from October 2013 to March 2014 interviewing 2,399 principal and secondary applicants. The first five waves of data collection were conducted annually. Waves 1, 3 and 5 interviews were conducted face-to-face and waves 2 and 4 interviews were conducted by telephone. Wave 6 was conducted 5 years after wave 5, between January and July 2023. Wave 6 data was collected online and face-to-face. The survey and participant materials were translated into 14 languages in wave 1, 9 languages in waves 2 - 5 and 5 languages in Wave 6. Interviews were conducted by bilingual interviewers; some interviews also used interpreters (interviews were conducted in nineteen languages in total in waves 1 and 2, thirteen languages in Wave 3, eleven languages in Wave 4, and ten languages in Wave 5 and seven languages in wave 6). For waves 2 and 4, shorter telephone interviews omit some of the questions asked in the longer face-to-face interviews. Topics covered by the study include: demographics, immigration experience, housing and neighbourhood, English language proficiency, education and training, employment and income, health, self-sufficiency, community support, personal resources and life satisfaction, and life in Australia. Additional modules include the child module in Wave 3, childcare and gender roles from Wave 5 and the COVID-19 and youth module in Wave 6. Researchers interested in using this data should note: (1) BNLA does not include data about migrants in the family and skilled streams of the permanent Migration Program; (2) BNLA only includes humanitarian migrants who arrived/were granted a visa during a specific time period; (3) Analysis at the state level is not possible

The Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, GENERAL RELEASE 23 (Waves 1-23)
No full textThe Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey is a nationally representative longitudinal study of Australian households which commenced in 2001. Funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services (DSS), the HILDA Survey is managed by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research at the University of Melbourne. The HILDA Survey provides longitudinal data on the lives of Australian residents. Its primary objective is to support research questions falling within three broad and inter-related areas of income, labour market and family dynamics. The HILDA Survey is a household-based panel study of Australian households and, as such, it interviews all household members (15 years and over) of the selected households and then re-interviews the same people in subsequent years. This dataset is the 23rd release of the HILDA data, incorporating data collected from 2001 through 2023 (Waves 1-23). The special topic module in Wave 22 is wealth, and includes questions on employment-related discrimination, updates to citizenship and permanent residency and material deprivatio

Damp and mould exposure in Australian homes
No full textThe dataset for the validation study of damp and mould exposure in Australian homes contains linked information on lab-tested mould measures using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technique and HERTSMI-2 analysis, and survey responses on mould exposure including visibility, size, odour, dampness, water damage, severity, location, and duration. Information on household socio-demographic characteristics, dwelling characteristics, and household behaviours related to humidity and ventilation is also included in the survey data.
Lab-tested data from this study was sampled from 100 households across Greater Melbourne, Greater Sydney, and Greater Newcastle. Online survey was disseminated since June 2022 and, upon enrolment, home visits for dust sample collection were conducted between 13 August 2022 and 13 May 2023.
The primary objective of the study is to understand the consistency between people’s self-diagnosed indoor mould and lab-tested exposure, how to best frame the self-reported mould questions, and ascertain factors affecting mould exposure and household diagnostic accuracy. The study aims to build a basis for exposure assessment at scale, which allows establishment of longitudinal exposure information and databases for monitoring at the population level.
Funded by the University of Melbourne, the data is managed by the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Healthy Housing at the University of Melbourne
