Welcome
For generations, when Australians meet, the greeting 'How ya goin' or 'ow-y-garn' has been a staple of conversation. More often than not, the answer is a simple 'not bad'. But think about it - could there be two more negative words than 'not' and 'bad' to describe how you're really feeling?

The 100-point 'How Are You Going' scale offers a more precise way of answering this familiar question. The scale ranges from zero (miserable) to 100 (fantastic), so you can rate how you're feeling on any number between 0 and 100.
Our vision is for tens of thousands of Australians to track their daily scores, with the results becoming a regular feature on the nightly news. We also believe this data can be valuable to organisations - from businesses tracking the wellbeing of their employees, to health and insurance providers getting a sense of how people are doing.
How it works
To get started, we'll ask you to register with just:
- A username - it can be your real name, a nickname or something creative!
- Your email address.
The system
Here's what the 'How Are You Going' scoring system looks like:
Once you've registered, you'll receive your first email asking you to submit your first 'How Are You Going' score. We'll also ask for some basic demographic information such as gender, age range and country. This will help us to provide more detailed insights in the future, but rest assured your answers will remain completely anonymous.
Every week you'll receive a reminder email asking you to log in again. It's an easy, ongoing way to reflect on how you're feeling - and contribute to a collective snapshot of the nation's health, fitness and wellbeing.
Corporate and Community Organisations Group Code
If you are a manager of a corporate or community organisation and you'd like to get a snapshot of the health, fitness and wellbeing of your group, go to the Group Code page. If you want more information about the group score process, send us a note using the contact form and we'll let you know how it can be arranged.
Privacy
Once you've registered, every week you'll receive a reminder email asking you to insert this weeks How Are You Going score and demographic details. The reminder email is completely divorced from you score (and demographic details). Once you've entered your weekly details, nobody, repeat nobody. will be able to identify the results of anyone, including yourself. This is strictly an anonymous survey.
