About the Canterbury Wellbeing Index

The Canterbury Wellbeing Index was produced by Community and Public Health (a division of the Canterbury District Health Board and now part of the National Public Health Service) from 2016 to 2023.

This project was funded as part of the recovery following the 2010/11 earthquake series in Canterbury. This funding stream has come to end so there is no plan to conduct to the Canterbury Wellbeing Survey again or to continue to update the Canterbury Wellbeing Index.

We appreciate that many have found the Index a valuable resource over time and we are grateful for your support of this project over the years.
