Abstract
As part of the Australian Living Standards Study, the Institute conducted a survey of 1100 service providers from the spheres of children's services, community services, education, employment, health, housing, leisure and recreation, safety and security, transport, and youth and amenity services. This article summarises responses of service providers in outer urban, middle urban, inner urban and rural / remote areas regarding which issues are important to their areas. Responses about availability of services and facilities, cost of living, and service delivery to particular groups are highlighted.
