Have Your Voice Heard: Join the 2025 Australian School Leader Occupational Health & Wellbeing Survey

Principals and school leaders, your wellbeing matters. The 2025 Australian School Leader Occupational Health and Wellbeing Survey, run by ACU’s Institute for Positive Psychology and Education, offers a confidential, evidence-based way to track your health, contribute to national insight, and shape better policy and support.

Why take part

• Personalised report: graphs compare your scores with other school leaders and the general population, track changes over time, and show individual data points to guide next steps.
• Real policy impact: Last year’s participant input helped put principal health and wellbeing on the national Education Ministers’ agenda.

Who should participate

• All school leaders: principals, deputies/assistant/acting principals, head teachers, teaching principals, wellbeing leaders, and retired/on‑leave principals.
• The survey is supported by state/territory principal and school associations.

What system-level data provides

• Clear evidence of occupational risks, stressors and protective factors across contexts.
• Benchmarks for jurisdictions, targets for interventions, and demonstration of return on investment for wellbeing programs.
• Comparative context so your individual report is meaningful within a robust national dataset that drives policy and school-level change.
