One week until Census night

With just one week to go until Census night on Tuesday 11 August, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is reminding people they can complete their Census as soon as they receive their instructions. 

Emily Walter, Census national spokesperson, said the ABS has already received over a million completed Census forms. 

"With Census night only a week away, we’re reminding everyone that you can complete your Census early if you know where you’ll be on Census night. 

“Most households across Australia have started to receive Census letters with instructions on how to complete their Census, or how to order a paper form.  

“If you are yet to receive your instructions or would like to complete the Census separately from the rest of your household, head to the Census website to get a Census number or request a paper form." 

There are a range of support options on the website, including translated material, details on how to get in touch with the Census Contact Centre and where to find in-person help at local Pop-up Hubs across the country. 

People who won’t be at their usual residence on Census night should go to the Census website and indicate whether the house will be vacant and if residents will be staying elsewhere or travelling.
