Every five years, Australia conducts the Census, which counts every person and household across the country. The information collected helps governments plan essential services such as **healthcare, schools, transport, housing, and community infrastructure**.
✅ Everyone in Australia on Census Night must be counted, including:
• Australian citizens and permanent residents
• Visa holders
• International students
• International visitors
Please make sure everyone staying in your home on Census Night (including babies and visitors) is included on your Census form.
📝 How to complete the Census
• Complete it online using the Census number and temporary password sent to your household.
• Most households will receive instructions from late July 2026.
🤝 Need help?
Support is available if you need assistance. While the Census form is in English, help is available through family, friends, or the Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS National).
