Summary The Australian Unity Wellbeing Index measures the happiness and wellbeing of the Australian population. These results are from the 21st survey conducted in May 2009. Each survey involves a geographically representative national sample of 2,000 people. Wellbeing is measured using the Personal Wellbeing Index. The Personal Wellbeing Index  measures people’s satisfaction with their health, personal relationships, personal safety, standard of living, what they are achieving in life, community connection, future security and spirituality or religion. Each survey also  explores satisfaction with national aspects of life, such as government and the environment, and investigates a specific issue of social importance and its impact on wellbeing. Survey 21 revealed a significant increase in  satisfaction with life in Australia and satisfaction with the economic situation.
