Abstract
This short paper briefly describes the K10 and the measures derived from it and included in the HILDA Survey data release 7.0, makes some brief comparisons with the mental health sub-scale of the SF36, and reports how population estimates from the HILDA Survey compare with those from ABS sources (namely, the NHS and the NSMHWB).
