Before making a submission, please read the following information paper Census of Population and Housing: Consultation on Content and Procedures, 2016 (cat. no. 2007.0).

This paper sets out initial proposals from the ABS on content and procedures for the 2016 Census and invites comment from the public. Please also familiarise yourself with the Submission guidelines to help ensure your submission addresses the relevant criteria.

We advise that you look at the questions and submission criteria, and prepare your submission before starting your form. The submission form does not have a save function. Therefore once you start you will need to complete it unless you have saved your content in another location. To assist you we have provided a Word document, which you can use to prepare your submission before lodging it online.
