| Why should I be counted? There are plenty of reasons why you should be counted in the Census. The Census is your chance to be heard, the information collected is used by decision makers, government and business to allocate services, facilities and funding in your community. The information collected at Census time lights the way forward for better planning of public transport, roads, shops, education, health care and housing – even festivals, events and skate parks can be planned using Census data. It’s simple, if you’re not counted, you or your community could miss out on important services and facilities. In the 2010-11 Federal Budget, funding of over $4,000 per person was allocated to states and territories. This is calculated using population figures from the Census. Imagine if 1,000 people in your community didn’t complete the Census, it could be the difference between a five or thirty minute walk to the bus stop. Generation who? Living in shared accommodation? Worried about your privacy? |  | |
