AEDC - Physical Health and Wellbeing (LGA) 2009-2018

Brief description

This dataset contains information from the 'Physical health and wellbeing' domain of the Australian Early Development Censuses (AEDC) from 2009 - 2018. The data is based on 2016 Local Government Areas (LGA) boundaries.

The AEDC is a population-based measure of children's development as they enter their first year of full-time school, and takes place nationally every three years. It looks at five domains of early childhood development: physical health and wellbeing (plus three health sub-domains), social competence, emotional maturity, language and cognitive skills, and communication skills and general knowledge.

For more information visit the [AEDC website](http://www.aedc.gov.au).

Please note suppression of AEDC data occurs when one or more of the following have been met:

* Three or fewer children had been assessed

* Fewer than fifteen children had valid AEDC scores

* Less than two teachers had completed AEDC instruments for children in that location

* AEDC instruments were completed for less than 80% of all non special needs children
Additional minor suppression's have occurred where necessary to preserve confidentiality of related suppressed cells.
