The 2024 Mapping Social Cohesion report provides a comprehensive analysis of social cohesion trends in Australia amidst a backdrop of national and global challenges. Conducted annually since 2007, this eighteenth installment examines attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors across 100 indicators, including social cohesion, immigration, multiculturalism, and personal wellbeing. The study highlights the resilience of Australia's social fabric, steady levels of social cohesion, and persistent strengths in multicultural acceptance. However, it also reveals areas of concern, such as financial stress, discrimination, declining trust in government, and strained interfaith relations. The report emphasizes the importance of addressing economic pressures, inequality, and safety concerns while maintaining Australia’s multicultural strengths to support societal resilience. It offers valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and community leaders aiming to foster social harmony and inclusivity in Australia.
