Regional Matters 2005 - Community Wellbeing
 |  | Community Well-being can be defined as people's aspirations for their community. Aspirations include feeling safe as well as high levels of community participation and inclusion. Health issues relating to life expectancy, work-risk activities and education also affect community well-being. The challenges facing regional community well-being include distance, isolation and access to services. |
