Travelling on Census night?
The 15th National Census for
Population and Housing will take place on 8 August this year. Wherever you are on Census night, you need to be counted.
Why is it so important?
Census data helps organisations and businesses plan for the future and provide appropriate
services for their community.
Census data on the number of people in an industry can be used by organisations to support funding submissions. For example, the Transport Workers Union has used such information to support their funding applications for OH&S training and research into fatigue amongst industry workers.
What if you’re not at home on Census night?
If you are not going to be at home on Census night, you still need to make sure you fill out a Census form.
Do you know anyone who won’t be at home?
If you will be staying overnight in paid accommodation such as a hotel or caravan
park, you will be given a Census form and instructions on how to complete it.
