When searching online for information about a Local Government Area (LGA), such as population demographics and other data, look for reputable organisations like official Australian government websites (Department of Health, Department of Education), which usually end in .gov.au (e.g. ballarat.vic.gov.au).
For additional guidance, explore the “Finding statistics and reports” section in your discipline subject guide. Useful examples can be found in the Nursing Subject Guide and the Education Subject Guide.
Referencing
Many subject guides also provide templates to help you correctly reference key documents and commonly used sources in your assessments, including guidance on Referencing common nursing sources and Referencing educational websites and online documents in APA 7th.
