Every year the NSSS asks thousands of older people for their thoughts, feelings, and experiences on a range of important topics.
A report summarising the survey outcomes goes straight to our primary funder, the Commonwealth Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, to inform government policy.
The outcomes also inform NSA's own advocacy and policy work and come back to you in the form of research reports, articles, infographics, and media coverage.
This year's NSSS includes modules on:
- Contributing to society
- Experiences as a carer
- Hospital experiences.
The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Bellberry Human Research Ethics Committee. Your responses will be completely confidential.
As well as making a valuable contribution to knowledge and social change by sharing your views, you will have a chance to win one of 10 Woolworths or Coles eGift Cards worth $50 each.
Find the survey here . It is open until 6 February 2026.
