ACT Wellbeing Framework

The ACT Wellbeing Framework measures what matters to Canberrans and our quality of life, so that we can focus on what the community cares about in our decision making.

Wellbeing is about how we are doing, as individuals, as a community, and as a place to live. It’s about having the opportunity and ability to lead lives of personal and community value – with qualities such as good health, time to enjoy the things in life that matter, in an environment that promotes personal growth and is sustainable. Measuring wellbeing is about having a sense of our progress around the things that matter to our quality of life, and help us to live our lives well.

The ACT Wellbeing Framework is helping the ACT Government and community work in partnership to lift the quality of life of all Canberrans, particularly those with lower wellbeing than average.
