Since 2007, the Scanlon Foundation’s Mapping Social Cohesion report series has sought to understand the social impact of Australia’s increasingly diverse immigration program, and maps this through the Scanlon-Monash Index. 

The Index looks at five core indicators of social cohesion: belonging, worth, social justice, participation and acceptance and rejection.
