The census is a snapshot of who we are and tells the story of how we are changing. It's used to inform many things, from planning schools, healthcare and roads to local services for individuals, families and communities.
The last census was in 2016 and this year's census will be held on Tuesday, August 10, 2021 and can be completed online, by paper, or with help from census staff.
The ABS will be sending instructions to households on how to complete from late July. This year,people can start their Census as soon as they get instructions if they know who will be home on Census night.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics, which manages the census say they are recruiting 38,000 temporary positions to fill a range of diverse roles right across Australia. This includes urban, regional and remote areas.
