Active Living Census

The Active Living Census (ALC) is a region-wide survey conducted by Healthy Loddon Campaspe that asks residents in our region about their health and daily activities. 

Almost 25,000 people took part in the 2019 ALC, providing the region with detailed data about our communities' health and wellbeing. No other region in Australia has this type of data at this level of detail. 

The survey looks at things like:

• How often people play sport or are physically active;
• What they eat and drink (like fruit, vegetables, water, and sugary drinks);
• Smoking and gambling habits;
• How happy people feel about their lives; and
• What stops people from being healthy and active.

This information helps schools, sporting clubs, community groups, government, and local leaders make better decisions about health programs, new recreation spaces, and services. It also helps the community get funding to make the region a healthier place for everyone.
