View Dashboard

The Life stages dashboard allows you to search for a community (or other location) and access regional level statistics on and related to the relevant life stage. You can use the dashboard to compare regions and look at trends over time, where possible.

Adults aged 25–49 are in a period of life with many challenges and opportunities related to work, providing for a family, supporting elderly parents and taking on more responsibilities in their communities. It is when many health behaviours and risk factors start to have a big impact on health and wellbeing.

Instructions

Step 1: Search for a community or location of interest using one of the 3 search functions (outlined under 'Dashboard tips' below)

Step 2: Select a topic to view statistics about using the drop-down menu above the dashboard

Step 3: Select a region type to view statistics for using the drop-down menu above the dashboard

Searching for a community or location


You can search for communities in 3 ways:



  • by entering the community or location name into the search bar above

  • by using the interactive map in Search on map

  • by selecting the community or location name from the List of communities.


If you are not able to find the community or location name of interest, you can use the interactive map to select a region you want to view statistics for.


Selecting a topic


Use the ‘Select topic’ dropdown menu, located above the dashboard, to select a topic to change the statistics shown on the dashboard. The default topic shown is ‘People and community’.


Selecting a region type


The ‘Select region type’ dropdown menu changes the region type shown on the dashboard. You can view statistics for smaller or larger regions by choosing a different region type.


More help


For more information on navigating the dashboard, use the help button, located on the top right hand side of the dashboard (next to the ‘Select region type’ drop down menu).


You can also visit the Help page for further assistance.

Region types available


The range of available region types is different depending on the topic selected. This is because data for some topics allows a more detailed regional breakdown, than for other topics. 


The communities and other locations that can be found through the RIFIC regional overview search include the locations in the Australian Government Indigenous Programs & Policy Locations (AGIL) data set. The AGIL locations are referred to as Indigenous communities on RIFIC.


For detailed information about the region types statistics are presented for, go to Region types.
