This dataset contains information from the 'Language and cognitive skills (school-based)' domain of the Australian Early Development Censuses (AEDC) from 2009 - 2018. The data is based on 2016 Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries. The AEDC is a population-based measure of children's development as they enter their first year of full-time school, and takes place nationally every three years. It looks at five domains of early childhood development: physical health and wellbeing (plus three health sub-domains), social competence, emotional maturity, language and cognitive skills, and communication skills and general knowledge. For more information visit the AEDC website. Please note suppression of AEDC data occurs when one or more of the following have been met: Three or fewer children had been assessed Fewer than fifteen children had valid AEDC scores Less than two teachers had completed AEDC instruments for children in that location AEDC instruments were completed for less than 80% of all non special needs children Additional minor suppression's have occurred where necessary to preserve confidentiality of related suppressed cells. Please Note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. Some AEDC results were captured across two SA2 regions, AURIN has excluded these results from this dataset.

This dataset contains information about children that are vulnerable on two or more domains of the Australian Early Development Censuses (AEDC) from 2009 - 2018. The data is based on 2016 Statistical Areas Level 3 (SA3) boundaries. The AEDC is a population-based measure of children's development as they enter their first year of full-time school, and takes place nationally every three years. It looks at five domains of early childhood development: physical health and wellbeing (plus three health sub-domains), social competence, emotional maturity, language and cognitive skills, and communication skills and general knowledge. For more information visit the AEDC website. Please note suppression of AEDC data occurs when one or more of the following have been met: Three or fewer children had been assessed Fewer than fifteen children had valid AEDC scores Less than two teachers had completed AEDC instruments for children in that location AEDC instruments were completed for less than 80% of all non special needs children Additional minor suppression's have occurred where necessary to preserve confidentiality of related suppressed cells. Please Note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. AEDC results for Daly - Tiwi - West Arnhem (SA3 code 70203) and East Arnhem (SA3 code 70204) are combined in the original data. AURIN has assigned the results for these regions to the boundary of Daly - Tiwi - West Arnhem and excluded the boundary of East Arnhem from this dataset.

The Australian Early Development Index (AEDI) is a measure of how young children are developing in Australian communities. It involves collecting information to help create a snapshot of early childhood development in communities across Australia.
