About the AEDI
The AEDI is a population measure of children’s development in communities across Australia.
The AEDI gives us a national picture of children’s health and development – a first for Australia. The results pinpoint strengths in the community as well as what can be improved.
The AEDI provides information to help us build and strengthen our communities for our children and for Australia.
