One of the areas included in the report was around satisfaction in how often individuals took part in social activities over the last 3 months.

The figures were:

63.9% of people with disability (aged 15 years or older living in households) said they were satisfied all or most of the time
77.7% of older Australians living in households said they were satisfied all or most of the time
72.3% of primary carers saw family and friends who were not living in the same household at least once a week in 2022.

Are you happy with your social life and your connections with friends, family and your local community?

Do you socialise face-to-face, online or a combination of both?

Are there barriers to you taking part in these social opportunities (such as getting there, accessibility etc)?

What sort of things are you regularly involved in?

We’d love to hear from you.
