    Westpac Melbourne Institute Survey of Consumer Sentiment

The Consumer Sentiment Index for Australia is an average of five indexes reflecting respondents' evaluations of their household financial situation over the past and coming year, expectations about the one-year and five-year economic outlook, and views about current buying conditions for major household items. Assessments of future unemployment are also recorded each month.

Each quarter consumers are also surveyed on their views about buying conditions for cars and dwellings, the wisest place to invest savings and economic news recall. The latter specifically refers to politicians, government, taxation, wages, inflation, unemployment, money, the Australian dollar, business, economic conditions, farming, overseas influences and union power. This report is produced monthly.
