The Australian Child and Youth Wellbeing Atlas maps data on children and young people aged 0 to 24 in communities across Australia.

This freely accessible resource enables government agencies, researchers, and community organisations to systematically identify and address child and youth wellbeing priorities in a rigorous and cost-effective way.
