Over 10 million household Census forms have been received in Australia, with Census night occurring on 11 August 2026. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) continues engaging communities nationwide to ensure all households complete the survey. Field staff are following up with non-respondents to provide assistance. The Census is compulsory for everyone in Australia on Census night. Households yet to complete the form are urged to act promptly to avoid further follow-up. Forms can be completed online at census.abs.gov.au or by calling 1800 181 227. Census data informs decisions on services like healthcare, transport, and education. A state and territory participation breakdown is available. Residents should verify field officers’ credentials and report scams. For media inquiries, contact media@abs.gov.au.
