As Census night approaches on 11 August, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is reminding households to check their mailboxes for participation instructions. Most will receive online guidance, with paper forms available upon request. Emily Walter, Census national spokesperson, stated instructions will arrive in the coming weeks, urging households to verify their mail. Those who already know their Census night location can complete the form immediately. Paper form recipients may also complete the Census online. The ABS anticipates 85% of forms will be filled out digitally, taking approximately 30 minutes. All Australians present on Census night must be included, including visitors and visa holders. Instructions and further details are available at census.abs.gov.au. The Census is compulsory and conducted every five years.
