Notes

The Australian Leadership Index is a nationally representative study, which surveys 1,000 Australians every quarter, asking them about their views of leadership across 25 institutions.

To calculate the score for each metric shown, we take the mean score from an 11 point scale (0-10) and convert it to a score ranging from 0-100. This gives us a score which represents how people rate the performance of an institution on a particular component of leadership.

The higher the score on a metric, the stronger the institution or sector performance. Information about metrics is found in the 'metrics glossary'.

Scores can be viewed at the individual institution level, at a sector level (government, public, private, or not for profit sectors), or at a national level (all institutions).

The gap scores, when shown, represent the gap between the specific institution shown and the unfiltered national score.

INSIGHTS

The national leadership score declined to 61/100 (-2) in the Apr-Jun 2024 quarter, now at its lowest point in 3 years. The drivers of leadership, integrity, contribution, and competence also hit their lowest point, as cost of living, crime, and climate action dominated public discourse.

The government sector performed poorest, hitting a new low of 54/100 (-2 quarter on quarter), followed by the private sector at 59 (-1), not-for-profit sector at 63 (-2), and public sector at 72 (-1).
The biggest decline occurred amongst supermarkets, with a leadership score of 53 (-8). State governments also fell sharply to 51 (-6), as did public postal services at 69 (-5), professional sporting clubs and associations on 62 (-5), religious institutions at 50 (-5), and telcos on 61 (-4).
There were some good news stories though. The federal government improved to 53 (+2), emergency services hit a new high at 83 (+4), and mining companies had a score of 65 (+4).
