4 South Eastern Sydney Data Profile

IntroductionThis document presents a brief data profile for the South Eastern Sydney district. It contains a series of tables and graphs that show the characteristics of persons, families and communities. It includes demographic, housing, child development, community safety and child protection information. Where possible, this information is presented at the local government area (LGA) level.

In the South Eastern Sydney district, there are seven LGAS:

• Bayside1

• Georges River

• Randwick

• Sutherland Shire

• Sydney2

• Waverley

• Woollahra

The data presented in this document is from a number of different sources, including the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR), NSW Health Stats, the Australian Early Developmental Census (AEDC) and NSW Government administrative data.

1 In 2016, the Botany Bay and Rockdale councils merged to form the Bayside LGA. The data sources used to develop this report do not yet reflect this change in boundaries. As such, where possible, we have merged the data available to us on the Botany Bay and Rockdale LGAs to present figures for the Bayside LGA. When this was not possible, we have presented the data on both the Botany Bay and Rockdale areas.

2 Please note that the City of Sydney LGA sits across both the South Eastern Sydney and Sydney districts, so the data is included in both Data Profiles.


The majority of these sources are publicly available. Please see the source statements for each table and graph for where the data was extracted from and for where you can find more information.

Please also note that the information extracted from the original sources may change slightly as the data is updated over time by the original author (e.g. ABS, NSW Healthstats). As such, for each table or graph we have provided the date this information was accessed.

If you would like additional suburb-level and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander specific data, the following sources are available to you:

• The ABS provides demographic, cultural and linguistic diversity, employment and housing data at a suburb level though Quick Stats: https://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/D3310114.nsf/Home/2016%20QuickStats. For example, for the La Perouse suburb, select ‘La Perouse, NSW: State Suburb (SSC)’ from the drop down menu.

• The ABS also ranks suburbs on the Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA): http://stat.data.abs.gov.au/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=SEIFA_SSC. For more information on the SEIFA, see page 29.

• BOSCAR records criminal offences at a suburb level: https://www.bocsar.nsw.gov.au/Pages/bocsar_datasets/Datasets-.aspx. Follow the ‘Suburb’ link in the Geographic breakdown category for a spreadsheet containing all suburb-level crime data.

• Information about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons, families and dwellings, including comparisons with non-Indigenous people, is also available at LGA level through the ABS 2016 Census Community Profiles: https://www.abs.gov.au/websitedbs/D3310114.nsf/Home/2016%20Census%20Community%20Profiles. For example, for information about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of Randwick, select ‘Randwick (C), NSW: Local Government Area (LGA)’ from the drop down menu, and follow the link for the ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Profile’.

Children and Young PeopleGovernment schools The following tables provide information about the government schools in the six LGAs that make up the South Eastern Sydney district. These tables provide information on the following factors:

No. of FTE enrolments

The number of full-time equivalent (FTE) enrolments indicates the number of students who attended the school over the course of the academic year. For example, 39.2 means 39 students were enrolled full time for one academic year and one student was enrolled for a fifth of the year.

% of ATSI The percentage of FTE students enrolled who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander.

% of LBOTEThe percentage of students (headcount) who have a language background other than English (LBOTE). A student has a LBOTE if they, or their parents or guardians, speak a language other than English at home.

ISCEA value

The Index of Community Socio-Education Advantage (ICSEA) provides information about the socio-educational backgrounds of a school’s students. This is worked out by looking at the parents’ occupation and education, a school’s geographical location, and the proportion of Indigenous students.

The ICSEA is set at an average of 1000. The lower the ICSEA level, the lower the educational advantage of students who go to this school. The highest score of a public school in New South Wales is 1245, and the lowest score is 543.

% School attendanceThe attendance rate is the number of actual FTE student days attended by full-time students in Years 1–10 in Semester One as a percentage of the total number of possible student-days attended in semester one.

There are 156 government schools in South Eastern School district (Table 6a-6g):

• 16 in the Randwick LGA

• 57 in Sutherland Shire

• 20 in Sydney LGA

• 6 in the Waverley LGA

• 6 in Woollahra LGA

• 29 in Georges River

• 22 in Bayside.


The largest of these school is Menai High School in Sutherland Shire (1256.6 FTE enrolments) and the smallest is La Perouse Public School in Randwick (34 FTE enrolments). La Perouse School also has the largest percentage of Indigenous students (74%). The school with the lowest attendance is Plunkett St Public School (83.3%), in the Sydney LGA. The school with the highest school attendance is Coogee Public School in Randwick (97.3%).

The schools with the highest percentage of LBOTE students are located in Bayside: Arncliffe West Infants School in (94%) followed by Sydney Technical High School and Eastlakes Public School (93%).

The school with the highest ISCEA value is Conservatorium High School in Sydney (1204). The school with the lowest is Centennial Park School (741), a high school that caters specifically to student with mental health issues, followed by La Perouse Public School (789).

The Department of Education also provides information about suspensions and expulsions from government schools at the district level3.

Table 7 shows that the South Eastern Sydney district has a lower proportion of students who received short suspensions (four days or less) in 2018 compared to the NSW state average. In 2018, 1.8% of students received short suspensions in South Eastern Sydney, compared to 4.0% in NSW. The proportion of students who received long suspensions (4-20 school days) was also lower than the NSW state average; 0.6% in the district compared to 1.5% in the state.

In the South Eastern Sydney district, less than five students were expelled for misbehaviour in 2018, and 11 were expelled for unsatisfactory participation.

3 To our knowledge, LGA data is unavailable.

Early childhood developmentThe Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) measures the early childhood development of children in Australia in their first year of full-time school. It measures this across five domains that predict later health, education and social outcomes:

• physical health and wellbeing

• social competence

• emotional maturity

• language and cognitive skills (school-based)

• communication skills and general knowledge

The AEDC results can tell us if children are developmentally on track or if they need more support through their school years.

In the 2018 AEDC, the majority of children in the South Eastern Sydney district were developmentally ‘on track’ (see Figures 2-8). In all seven LGAs more than 70% of children were ‘on track’ for each of the five AEDC domains.

The proportion of children developmentally ‘at risk’ and ‘vulnerable’ was greater in Bayside and Georges River LGAs, compared with Randwick and Sutherland Shire LGAs, which both had greater than 80% of children who were ‘on track’ in all five domains.

The AEDC also has two summary indicators that measure developmental vulnerability across all five domains.

In 2018, 7.3% of children were developmentally vulnerable on two or more domains in the South Eastern Sydney district (see Table 8). This is less than the NSW state average of 9.6%. Bayside had the highest proportion of children developmentally vulnerable on two or more domains, at 9.9%. Sutherland Shire had the lowest proportion of children developmentally vulnerable on two or more domains, at 5.6%.

Vulnerable children and young peopleUsing the Their Futures Matter (TFM) Human Services Dataset, TFM identified three vulnerable groups of children and young people in NSW:

For each vulnerable group, TFM identified five indicators associated with poor outcomes later in life. They also identified the proportion of this group with this indicator. TFM identified these indicators by undertaking predictive modelling and analysis, using the TFM Human Services Data set. This dataset brings together data collected by ten different government agencies. It includes data on child protection, housing, justice, health, education and commonwealth service use.

Table 9 shows the top five indicators for each vulnerable group in the South Eastern Sydney district.

Table 9 shows the number and proportion of children in each of the vulnerable groups by LGA. It also shows us what proportion of this group identify as Aboriginal.

For example, in Randwick LGA, 10,310 children were under the age of five. Of these children, 18% were identified as vulnerable and 10% of these vulnerable children identified as Aboriginal. By comparison, in Woollahra, 16% of children under the age of five were vulnerable and 1% of these children identified as Aboriginal.

When looking at children under the age of 15, 11% where affected by a mental illness in Randwick LGA and 10% of these children identified as Aboriginal. In Woollahra, 8% of this group were affected by a mental illness and 2% identified as Aboriginal.

When looking at young people between the ages of 15 and 18, 15% were affected by a mental illness in the Randwick LGA, and 11% of this group were Aboriginal. Compared to only 9% in Woollahra LGA, of which none were Aboriginal.

1 Score: A low IRSAD score indicates that an area is relatively disadvantaged compared to an area with a higher score.

2 Rank: All areas are ranked from the lowest to the highest score. The area with the lowest score is ranked number one, the area with the highest score is ranked 129. The State Rank can only be used to compare areas with a single state/territory.

3 Decile: All areas are ordered from the lowest to highest score, the lowest 10% of areas are given a decile number of 1 and so on, up to the highest 10% of areas which are given a number of 10. This means that areas are divided into 10 groups, depending on their score. Decile 1 is the most disadvantaged relative to other deciles.

Socio-economic advantage and disadvantageThe Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) is a suite of four indices based on a broad range of social and economic aspects of the Australian population, based on information from the 2016 Census of Population and Housing. The information presented below is based on the Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage (IRSAD). The IRSAD summarises information about the economic and social conditions of people and households within an area.

In the South Eastern Sydney district, Woollahra has the highest SEIFA score (1165) and is ranked the highest (see Table 16). This means Woollahra is relatively advantaged compared to the other LGAs in the South Eastern Sydney district.

Conversely, Bayside has the lowest SEIFA score (1023/1028) and is ranked the lowest (see Table 16). This means Bayside is relatively disadvantaged compared to the other LGAs in the South Eastern Sydney district.

Maternal HealthTeenage pregnancyTeenage parenthood is associated with a number of adversities, including low socio-economic status, educational under-achievement and drugs abuse. In turn, young parenthood can act to further entrench some of these problems and perpetuate a cycle of disadvantage.

In 2018, 45 mothers aged 19 and under gave birth in the South Eastern Sydney district (see Table 19). This accounts for 0.4% of all births in the district. This proportion is much lower than the NSW state average of 1.9%. The LGA of Georges River has the highest proportion of young mothers aged 19 and under in 2018. However, this was still only 0.8% (n=13) of all births.

Smoking during pregnancySmoking during pregnancy is an important modifiable risk factor for low birthweight, pre-term birth, placental complications and perinatal mortality.

Between 2015-2017, mothers in the South Eastern Sydney district were less likely to smoke during pregnancy, compared to the NSW state average (see Figure 10). The LGA with the highest proportion of mothers who smoked during their pregnancy was Bayside, at 3.8%. Mothers in Woollahra were least likely to smoke during pregnancy (0.9%).

Australian Mothers IndexSince 2000, Save the Children has produced a Mother’s Index showing where mothers do best and where they face the greatest hardships. This index compares countries world-wide, as well as Australian states and territories and LGAs.

The information in Table 20 is derived from the Local-level Mothers Index. Five indicators make up this index:

• maternal health - the proportion of pregnant women with at least one antenatal visit in the first trimester

• children’s wellbeing - the proportion of children under 5 developmentally on track (measured by the AEDC)

• educational status - the proportion of women completing Year 12 or above

• economic status - average household income

• relative socioeconomic disadvantage - a measure of a mother’s access to material and social resources and her ability to participate in society.

These indicators were used to rank every LGA is NSW, where 1 is the best rank and 152 is the worst.

In the South Eastern district, Woollahra was given the best ranking in the state, 1 of 152 (see Table 20). Bayside received the lowest rank in the South Eastern Sydney district – 40 in Botany Bay and 46 in Rockdale. This means that mothers in Bayside are facing much greater hardships that mothers in Woollahra.
