Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey

The Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey is a nationally representative longitudinal study of Australian households which commenced in 2001. Funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services (DSS), the Survey is managed by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research at the University of Melbourne.

The HILDA Survey is a household-based panel study of Australian households and, as such, it interviews all household members (15 years and over) of selected households and then re-interviews the same people in subsequent years.

The HILDA data is available from the ADA Dataverse catalogue at: https://dataverse.ada.edu.au/dataverse/hilda
