COVID-19 Pandemic Adjustment Survey (CPAS)
No full textThe COVID-19 Pandemic Adjustment Survey (CPAS) is a longitudinal research study investigating how Australian families are being affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The study aims to investigate the week-by-week impacts of social distancing and other measures introduced to control the spread of COVID-19. We know there are risks for those families living with chronic stress and social isolation. This study will aim to provide timely information and tools for successful clinical and public health interventions to support families during and after the pandemic
Australian Survey of Social Attitudes, 2021
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 2021 survey is "Health and Healthcare". This is the second time this has been the topic of the survey, having previously been the theme for the survey in 2011. The data from questions in sections B, C, D, E, F and G are embargoed until 1 January 2025
Australian Election Study, 1987-2022 Trends
No full textThe excel file contains the excel tables underlying the charts contained in the report Trends in Australian Political Opinion: Results from the Australian Election Study 1987-2022 (Cameron and McAllister 2022, available at www.australianelectionstudy.org). It also breaks down these trends by gender, age group, education level, and vote in the House of Representatives, as presented graphically in the Australian Election Study (AES) interactive charts, available on the AES website: www.australianelectionstudy.org. The AES data comes from representative post-election public opinion surveys, fielded after each election since 1987. The tables herein can be used to produce descriptive graphs on Australian politics, without the need to conduct analyses separately on the AES data files for individual years. Tables for over 100 items are included, selected where there is time series data from the AES spanning at least three elections. The tables are grouped into eleven themes, including: 1) The election campaign; 2) Voting and partisanship; 3) Election issues; 4) The economy; 5) Politics and political parties; 6) The left-right dimension; 7) The political leaders; 8) Democracy and institutions; 9) Trade unions, business and wealth; 10) Social issues; and 11) Defence and foreign affairs
ANZLEAD Federal Electorate Codes
No full textThis collection includes a vocabulary with a complete list of Australian federal electorates from 1901 to 2023, along with a set of standardised codes for use in the ANZLEAD project. The codes have been based on the Australian Election Commission codes used in the AEC Virtual Tally Room and Election Statistics datasets, but have been harmonised to provide consistent identification of an electorate for all elections from 1993 to 2022. In addition, new three-digit codes have been created for electorates that used prior to 1993. In addition to the electorate codes, additional files for election division turnout have been extracted from the Australian Election Commission official statistics, with the ANZLEAD identifier added to support integration of data over time
Projected heatwave count and ambulance costs, Tasmania Australia
No full textBackground: These data are part of a project aimed at exploring the issue of health care costs associated with projected heatwave events in a warming climate. We used ambulance dispatches in Tasmania, Australia as a case study to understand how adapting and not adapting for climate change will have a substantial impact on costs. We used two methods to calculate the number of heatwave events into the future: 1) a static baseline, mirroring a non-adaptation scenario, and 2) a rolling baseline which moves forward over time, mirroring an adaptive scenario. As the temperature increases, the rolling baseline results in less heatwave events being identified. We then used these heatwave counts to calculate costs of ambulance dispatches into the future.
This archive contains two files.
1) Projected heatwave counts for Tasmania, Australia (1960-2089), derived using an ensemble of six global climate models (CSIRO-BOM-ACCESS1-0, CNRM-CERFACS-CNRM-CM5, NOAA-GFDL-GFDL-ESM2M, MOHC-HadGEM2-CC, MIROC-MIROC5 and NCC-NorESM1-M). A model mean was also calculated.
2) Project ambulance costs for Tasmania, Australia (2010-2089) attributed to heatwave events, derived from Campbell et al. 2021

Asian Barometer Survey Wave 6 (Australia)
No full textThe Asian Barometer Study (Australia) is the Australian component of the Global Barometer Surveys (GBS), a comprehensive project that measures social, political, and economic climate around the world.
Evolving from the Eurobarometer, first conducted in 1974, the GBS is a collaborative research project consisting of six regional barometers. It is the first comprehensive effort to measure the current social, political, and economic climate around the world. It provides an independent, scientific, and multidisciplinary view of public opinion on a range of policy-relevant issues. Currently, the GBS network covers 70% of the world's population and is still expanding.
In each country, the same questions are asked to compare views on religion, gender roles, work, democracy, good governance, social capital, political participation, cultural diversity, environmental protection, and general wellbeing

The GENERATION survey, is conducted in partnership between the Australian National University and the Australian Department of Education, with advice from educational units of all Australian state and territory governments and a scientific advisory group
ANZLEAD Australian Political Party Codes
No full textThis vocabulary includes a list of Australian political parties from 1901 to 2023, and establishes standardised identifier codes for use in harmonising political science research datasets across time and projects. The list of parties is drawn from three sources. The core of the vocabulary was established by processing the Australian Electoral Commission party registration online records to build a complete list of political party federal registrations and deregistrations during the period 1984-2023. This foundation was then enhanced using information the Australian Parliamentary Library parliamentary handbook elections information, and the Australian Parliamentary Candidates 1890-1999 study (Hughes, 1999). A more comprehensive list of parties from 1890 to 2023 has also been established as part of this vocabulary development
