Census night is here.
It’s our chance, every five years, to capture a snapshot of who we are, and how we are changing.
ABS staff are working tirelessly in communities across Australia to ensure everyone in the country is counted.
Most households in Australia have now received either instructions to complete the Census online or a paper form.
Many households have completed their Census.
As of 10am on 11 August, the ABS had received more than five million household Census forms-online and paper.
For anyone who doesn’t complete a Census form tonight, there’s still time to do it.
If a household has not yet received their instruction letter or a paper form, they can go to census.abs.gov.au to get a Census number and complete it online.
Households that would prefer a paper form can request one online or by calling the Census Contact Centre on 1800 181 227.
There is also help and support available for those who need it, including over the phone and in person at pop-up hubs in locations across the country.
In the Census, every answer matters. Help us understand what Australia needs now and into the future.
