government) and n = 4,165 (i.e., the number of observations from Victorians who rated any institution across the government, public, private and not-for-profit sectors).

How are ALI scores calculated? The ALI score is calculated in a similar way to the Net Promoter Score, a well-known and easily understood index ranging from -100 to +100. The ALI score for the Victorian government is calculated as the proportion of people who believe the Victorian government shows leadership for the greater good to a ‘fairly large extent’ or ‘extremely large
extent’ minus those who believe that the Victorian government shows leadership for the greater good ‘to some extent’ or ‘not at all’. Positive scores indicate that the government is perceived as serving the public interest, whereas negative scores indicate that the government is seen as self-serving.
Sample details: The sample size for the period December 2018-December 2021 is 3,313, collected at a rate of an average of 254 respondents per quarter

About the report
The Australian Leadership Index addresses three fundamental aspects of leadership for the greater good in Australia: public perceptions of its state in a variety of social institutions and sectors; public expectations about leadership for the greater good; and the factors that predict or ‘drive’ public perceptions of leadership for the greater good.
To understand public perceptions and expectations about leadership for the good, ALI surveys approximately 1,000 people across all Australian states and territories each quarter. Each participant is asked to rate the performance of 4 randomly assigned institutions (from a list of 25) on leadership and its key drivers, integrity, contribution, and competence.
This report draws on results from Victorians surveyed from 2018-2022, collecting data on each participant’s perceptions of Victorian State Government leadership across that time period for each of the ALI’s metrics.
