About the Sample: The 2011 National Church Life Survey (2011 NCLS) is a survey of Australian church attenders conducted across more than 3100 local churches in 23 Christian denominations. The question in this Profile was distributed to a random representative sample of these church attenders.

Options for further research: If further analysis and reports are desired, then the following options are available: a) Researchers: It is possible to approach NCLS researchers and commission them to conduct further analysis. Alternatively, a research licence can be applied for by the commissioning body so that data can be made available to other researchers. b) Research Licence: A licence will be granted by the NCLS Research Board of Governors upon receipt and approval of a research project proposal from the commissioning body. The commissioned dataset would not be released to any external researchers without the written permission of the commissioning body or representative. c) Fees: There will be no further charge to the commissioning body for access to the items in the relevant 2011 NCLS survey dataset. Fees for researcher time would depend on the arrangements with NCLS researchers or external researchers. Powell, R., (2011) [computer file], 2011 NCLS Attender Sample Survey B, NCLS Research, Sydney.
