What Matters is a research project that is developing a tool to measure wellbeing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

This is an important study because there are currently no national population-based tools to measure wellbeing specifically for our mob. It is important to have a tool that asks about parts of life that are important and valued by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
