Life Patterns is an Australian Research Council funded project following the lives of young Australians since the 1990s. The project has followed two cohorts of young Australians during the last 30 years: Cohort 1 who were aged 18 in 1991 and Cohort 2 who were aged 17 in 2005.

Since 2022-23, the project is following a new cohort of 17-year-old Australians who have become members of Cohort 3.
