The VicHealth Indicators Survey is a Victorian community wellbeing survey which focuses on the social determinants of health. The survey is based on core questions related to individual and community health and wellbeing, critical to inform decisions about public health priorities.
The survey compliments other Victorian population health surveys such as the Victorian Government’s Victorian Population Health Survey (VPHS) and when combined, these two data sets enable local government planners to gain a comprehensive picture of health and wellbeing in Victoria.
