Welcome to the Media Centre for the 2011 Census of Population and Housing. Here you will find a range of media releases, fact sheets and images.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released the first round of Australia’s 2011 Census figures at 11.30 am on 21 June 2012.

The Census gives us a snapshot of Australia at a particular point in time that helps us understand more about our communities and how we live.

Census data will be available free of charge at the ABS website using a range of new, easy-to-use products. For more information on the release of Census data and products please see Information Paper: Census of Population and Housing – Products and Services, 2011 (cat. no. 2011.0.55.001).
