Relationships Australia surveys the Australian population every two to three years to find out what is going on with our relationships.

Relationships Australia provides counselling and education services for people wanting to improve their relationships. The survey results and information are used to plan and develop relationship enhancement services.

To celebrate Relationships Australia’s 60th anniversary and to mark a decade since the first Relationships Indicators Survey, the 2008 survey has been undertaken in partnership with our national community partner, Credit Union Australia (CUA).

2008 Survey Results
