One dimension of wellbeing is people's command over resources to obtain goods and services to satisfy their needs and wants. Expressed in real terms (at 2004–05 prices), household final consumption expenditure per capita rose from $10,400 in 1960–61 to $26,100 in 2005–06. The magnitude of this real increase (152%) suggests that Australia enjoy a much higher standard of material wellbeing than they did in the early 1960s.

Australia’s unemployment rate is around half that of the euro zone, and significantly less than the United States of America and United Kingdom A decade ago, Australia’s most important trading partners were largely in the developed world, although much of our merchandise trade was already oriented towards Asia. Today, China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, India and our Association of Southeast Asian Nations neighbours absorb around three quarters of our merchandise exports and supply half our imports. Australia's strong banking system had a major role to play in this nation's economic prosperity. It has proved to be a major factor that has helped Australia to counter problems raised by current global economic and financial crisis. Financial sector has been doing quite well given factors like high profitability, efficient management, and strong capitalization working in its favor. Mining sector has played an important part in protecting Australia from effects of global economic crisis
