Study update – Issue 1

Welcome to the new look Growing Up in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC). This is the first of a series of ‘Study Updates’ that we are preparing to keep you posted about all things Growing Up in Australia.

As you enter and move through adulthood, we are excited to follow your journey and design a study that reflects this.

Every single person who has contributed to Growing Up in Australia has contributed to a better understanding of Australians’ growth and development. As the study evolves, and you continue to grow, there is an important story to tell. The information you’ve provided in the past and your continued commitment to this study will inform policy and service delivery for you, and future generations.

In this issue, we introduce you to a founding member of the study, show you some findings from the 2020 survey, and introduce you to our new fieldwork partner.
