Aboriginal survey, New South Wales panel, 1980
This survey of the New South Wales subset, is a follow-up to a 1965 study which investigated a sample of New South Wales and South Australian Aboriginal households. The aim of this second wave was to examine changes that had occurred in social and economic conditions since 1965.
Topics investigated include household composition, ownership and physical characteristics of the dwelling and details of visitors; health including child mortality, ante-natal and infant care, use of health services and medical insurance; education, literacy, employment, hospitalisations, trade union membership, income (individual and household), assets, and chief recreation. Attitudinal questions asked were related to schooling, health services, Aboriginal languages, Aboriginal land rights, political parties, police, officials of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, the Aboriginal Study Grants Scheme, the Aboriginal Health Service, changes since 1965 in the economic situation of Aborigines, and local Aboriginal leadership.
Demographic variables covered age, sex and relationship to head of household.

<br />
This survey is the second wave of a study begun in 1965, which investigated a sample of Aborigines in New South Wales and South Australia.<br />
<br />
The present survey was aimed at re-interviewing all the New South Wales cases included in the 1965 survey. New South Wales households interviewed in 1965 were contacted, and new households established by members of 1965 households were traced and contacted. Information on people who had died since 1965 was obtained, in part because the proportion and causes of Aboriginal deaths were considered to be significant indicators of Aboriginal conditions.<br />
<br />
The selection of the 1965 sample was aimed at representing fairly all non-metropolitan areas of the State. For this purpose New South Wales was divided into five regions: North Coast, South Coast, South West (Cowra to Deniliquin), West (Wellington to Wilcannia), and North West (Dubbo-Collarenebri) except for Moree and Walgett.<br />
