Key Points: 
  • Australia’s first national “wellbeing framework”, to be released by Treasurer Jim Chalmers within weeks, will provide about 50 indicators of how Australians are doing, that will then be tracked over time.
  • The Measuring What Matters statement will be around the themes of “healthy, secure, sustainable, cohesive, and prosperous”, Chalmers said in a speech in Melbourne delivered late Tuesday.
  • Chalmers said the traditional economic metrics – GDP, income, employment – didn’t tell the whole story.
  • Chalmers said the government was also reforming institutions including the Reserve Bank, the Productivity Commission, and the public service.
