Australian Regional Development Index

The Australian Regional Development Index (ARDI) measures how well regions in Australia are progressing economically and socially. It considers factors like employment rates, income levels, education, infrastructure, and health services. The index helps identify areas that are thriving or need support, guiding policymakers to allocate resources effectively and promote balanced growth across the country. In short, it provides a snapshot of regional wellbeing, highlighting disparities and opportunities for development.
