Wellbeing Watch
A monitor of health, wealth and happiness in the Hunter
Wellbeing Watch is a research program which commenced in 2006. It aims to assess the quality of life in the Hunter, explain trends in how people live and provide an understanding of the influences on wellbeing and how regional wellbeing can be improved.
This unique research program builds upon the HVRF's existing regional research and in particular its economic indicators. .
Wellbeing Watch is based on the results from a telephone survey of 2,000 households conducted every two years and will ultimately help answer an underlying research question: is life in the Hunter Region improving?
