National Drugs Strategy Household Survey

Hi, I currently have access to the 2010 National Drugs Strategy Household Survey dataset ( https://data.gov.au/dataset/national-drugs-strategy-household-survey ) which I was having fun playing around with. I was hoping for similar access to past surveys as the NDSHS has been conducted every 2 to 3 years since 1985, which is a lot of data but it would be very interesting to see changes in attitudes.

Australian Schools

It would be good to have an authoritive source for all schools in Australia. http://www.myschool.edu.au/ might be a good place to start. In particular, the contact details and location of schools would be great. I've lost count the number of projects I've been involved in where the list of schools have been created from user input or manually created. A unique code of a school would significantly improve ease of reporting.... more »
