EXPLANATORY NOTES

INTRODUCTION

1 This publication presents data on social wellbeing indicators and participation in sport and physical recreation, compiled from the 2006 General Social Survey (GSS). The GSS collected information about personal and household characteristics for people aged 18 years and over resident in private dwellings, throughout non-remote areas of Australia, from March to July 2006.

2 This publication consists of a data cube and a report available from the details tab of the publication.

3 Further Explanatory Notes on the 2006 GSS can be found in General Social Survey: Summary Results, Australia, 2006 (cat. no. 4159.0).
