The 2025 Our Lives: Women in the ACT Survey is now closed. Thank you for participating in the survey.

As a central component of YWCA Canberra’s advocacy work, the recurring Our Lives: Women in the ACT survey has engaged an increasing number of women and non-binary people aged 16 and over, growing from more than 1,000 responses in 2019 to over 1,200 in 2021, and again in 2023, with a record 2,793 responses in 2025. These consistently high and rising participation rates have positioned the survey as a cornerstone for evidence-based advocacy, highlighting the lived experiences, challenges, and priorities of women and non-binary individuals throughout the ACT and surrounding regions.

Thank you to Sustineo, our thoughtful and data-driven partners, whose passion for evidence-based insights and commitment to projects like Our Lives continue to shape a more informed, inclusive, and equitable community. We’re proud to collaborate with a team that turns data into meaningful social change.
