A major aim is to identify policy opportunities for improving support for children and their families and for early intervention and prevention strategies. Description LSAC is an ongoing study for tracking children’s development in Australia. It follows the development of 10,000 children born in the late 1990s and 2000s and their families from all parts of Australia. The study follows two cohorts - families with 4-5 year old children and families with 0-1 year old infants in 2004. The study will continue to follow these two cohorts of children to the ages of 14-15 years and 18-19 years. Collection Type Survey Family and Domestic Violence related content (data items collected)

Collection methodology The sample was selected from the Medicare enrolment database held by the Health Insurance Commission. The Health Insurance Commission selected children of the appropriate ages and sent an 'invitation to participate' letter to the Medicare cardholder, along with a brochure on Growing Up in Australia. Families had four weeks to register their withdrawal from the study. At the end of this period, remaining families were sent a letter indicating when an interviewer will be in their area. Interviewers subsequently contacted families to arrange an appointment. The infant cohort comprised 5112 children aged 3-15 months at the start of the study (2004). The child cohort comprised 4991 children aged 4-5 years at the start of the study (2004). Field interviewers conduct both face-to-face and telephone interviews with the study child’s parents and face-to-face interviews with the study child. The responses were entered onto a laptop computer. In 2010, the parents and study children also did part of the interview by entering their responses using a laptop. The study child’s teacher, carer and other resident parent (known as Parent 2) were required to complete paper questionnaires. Parents who do not live with the study child were also included in the study and interviewed by telephone. Scope / target population Population comprises children who were aged 3-17 months in 2003-2004 and children who were aged 4-5 in 2003-2004. Coverage Children in remote locations were excluded.
