Privacy and data protection
- Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)
- Spam Act 2003 for recruitment communications
This is general guidance, not legal advice. ResearchDart never receives survey answers, which keeps sensitive data inside your survey platform.
Quota geography
States and territories, usually combined with a capital city versus rest-of-state split.
Time zones and timing
Three mainland time zones, with daylight saving observed in some states and not others, so local time gaps change during the year.
Fielding notes
- Metro and regional quotas matter: a sample that fills only from Sydney and Melbourne will not represent national opinion.
- School holidays differ by state and can shift availability for parent and family studies.
Setting up a Australia project
Create the project with country AU and the survey language. If you field more than one language, create one project per language so quotas and incidence are tracked separately.
