The Australian Bureau of Statistics is currently recruiting 20,000 Census Field Officers across the country to help deliver the 2021 Census.
Australia's 18th census takes place in August and field Officers are a crucial workforce that will help people throughout Australia to participate in it.
Field Officers assist the ABS at a local level by delivering Census instructions and forms and by visiting households that have not yet responded.
The ABS will recruit locally to ensure Field Officers are familiar with the local area.
Census Executive Director Andrew Henderson said Field Officers played a vital role as they promote Census participation and answer peoples' questions.
"Helping members of the public who need special support to complete the Census is a key role for our Field Officers," Mr Henderson said.
"We want to recruit motivated people who are keen to tell their community's story through the successful collection of Census data."
Mr Henderson said previous experience wasn't a requirement and training would be provided prior to commencing the job.
"We are also recruiting people who can speak a language other than English as part of the job," he said,
The roles are short-term and available in all cities, towns and regional areas nationwide. The flexible working hours are variable and will include weekdays, weekends and evenings.
Applicants are encouraged to view the applicant information kit and apply early as jobs are expected to fill quickly.
It takes 15 minutes to apply at www.censusjobs.adecco.com.au.
These roles are among 38,000 temporary jobs created to successfully deliver the 2021 Census.
The 2021 Census is on Tuesday August 10.
The Census is the most comprehensive picture of Australia's population and housing. Census data tells us about the economic, social and cultural make-up of the nation.
