This report provides an overview of the data collection and methodological aspects of the 2024 National Women’s Health Survey. Unless otherwise stated, the text in this report refers to methodological considerations for the probability-based panel Life in Australia™. Where applicable, tables have been updated with figures from non-probability panel provider ORU.
Jean Hailes for Women’s Health commissioned the Social Research Centre to conduct the National Women’s Health Survey (NWHS) in 2024. This is an annual survey focusing on women’s health, the topics explored each year are updated to reflect current information needs. The 2024 NWHS focused on attitudes, beliefs and access to contraception among Australian women.
The data were collected via two sample sources:
- The Social Research Centre’s probability-based panel Life in Australia™ (95th wave)
- ORU, a non-probability panel provider.
The non-probability panel provider increased the coverage of women aged 18 to 50 years old, particularly in regional and remote Australia.
