Local Government Area Summary Sheet for the City of Latrobe

Australian Early Development Index

The following data are compiled from the Australian Early Development Index, a population measure of children’s development as they enter school. The average age of these children is 5 years and 7 months. A checklist, completed by a teacher at the child’s school in their first year of full-time school, was completed between 1 May and 31 July 2009. The checklist contained over 100 questions about the development of the child across five developmental domains.

More information about these 5 domains can be found on the AEDI website at http://www.rch.org.au/emplibrary/australianedi/AEDI_Domains_Fact_Sheet_2009.pdf

While collected at the school, local community data relates to where the child lives. Victorian data is shown below, while on the reverse, data is shown for local communities within the City of Latrobe.
