7,000 Census Collectors – shedding some light on Victoria.
From Mildura to Malacoota, Wodonga to Warnambool, Census Victoria is seeking 7000 people to work as Census collectors.
Collectors play a vital role in the distribution and collection of Census forms to Victoria's 2.5 million households, and will join an army of 29,000 collectors nationally, making this Australia's largest ever peace time operation.
Census Director for Victoria, Sam Thomas, said being a collector is a fantastic opportunity to participate in your local community and shed some light on Australia.
He said, "people most suited to this role are those who are community minded and passionate about contributing to their neighbourhood," adding, "these jobs are ideal for students, those who are recently retired and part-time workers who would like to earn some extra cash while getting involved in their community."
Census Collectors will receive between $1,300 and $2,800 for the casual position and will be employed from 1 July until 8 September.
To be a Census collector, a person must be either an Australian citizen or a permanent resident of Australia, be at least 18 years old and have access to a vehicle and telephone. The ABS provides training for all Census collectors.
Applications are open from 9 April until 5 May. Apply online at www.abs.gov.au/census or call 1800 420 182.
