Minister King launches State of Australia’s Regions 2024 report

The 2024 State of Australia's Regions report is now available. This new report builds the regional evidence base and supports the Australian Government’s commitment to deliver targeted, effective and efficient regional investment that works better for our regional communities.

The report takes a look at key issues and opportunities for regions as identified at the local level, including through the Regional Development Australia committee network. This is in-line with the Government’s Regional Investment Framework, which emphasises the importance of listening and responding to the voices, knowledge and priorities of regional Australians.

The report is structured under the four priority areas of the Regional Investment Framework – people, places, services, and industries and local economies – bringing together the latest data and local insights on contemporary issues. It also enhances the Government’s range of regional data tools and products, including the Regional Data Hub, the Progress in Australian Regions and Cities Dashboard, and data available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
