The census in Australia, or officially, the Census of Population and Housing, is a descriptive count of everyone who is in Australia on one night, and of their dwellings. Participation in the census is compulsory.
The count is taken every five years and is managed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The first Australian census was held in 1911, on the night of 2 April (previous censuses being organised by the colonies) and subsequent censuses were held in 1921, 1933, 1947, 1954 and 1961. In 1961 the five-year period was introduced. Censuses are held on the second Tuesday of August. The most recent was held on 9 August 2011 and the next is scheduled for 9 August 2016. The cost of the 2011 census was $440 million.
The census counts all people who are located within Australia and its external and internal territories other than Norfolk Island, with the exception of foreign diplomats and their families on the census night. A separate census of Norfolk Island has been conducted by the Norfolk Island Government every five years since 1981, and occurs on the same day as the Australian census. The census examines data such as age, gender, incomes, occupations, dwelling types and occupancy, transportation modes, ancestry, languages spoken, and optional questions, such as religion.

Census data shows 'how much Australia has changed'
Sky News contributor and lawyer Caroline Di Russo says the data from last year's census will continue to be examined for “quite a while”.
The Australian newspaper reports the last five years have been revealed to be incredibly prosperous for middle Australia, according to data from the 2021 census.
“It’s really interesting to see how bits and pieces fit together and how much Australia has changed even over the course of the last five years,” she told Sky News host Jenna Clarke.

‘Exponential rise’: 2026 Australian census to find gender transition statistics
Child and Adolescent Psychologist Clare Rowe says she is glad the 2026 Australian census is going to ask people’s sex at birth.
The aim of asking this question is to pick up the fraction of the community who might’ve transitioned.
Ms Rowe told Sky News host Chris Kenny that she is concerned by the “exponential rise” in gender transitions.
“I actually don’t have any firm stats of how many," she said.
“We actually don’t know as professionals … I actually think I want these figures.”

The census in Australia, or officially, the Census of Population and Housing, is a descriptive count of everyone who is in Australia on one night, and of their dwellings. Participation in the census is compulsory.
The count is taken every five years and is managed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The first Australian census was held in 1911, on the night of 2 April (previous censuses being organised by the colonies) and subsequent censuses were held in 1921, 1933, 1947, 1954 and 1961. In 1961 the five-year period was introduced. Censuses are held on the second Tuesday of August. The most recent was held on 9 August 2011 and the next is scheduled for 9 August 2016. The cost of the 2011 census was $440 million.
The census counts all people who are located within Australia and its external and internal territories other than Norfolk Island, with the exception of foreign diplomats and their families on the census night. A separate census of Norfolk Island has been conducted by the Norfolk Island Government every five years since 1981, and occurs on the same day as the Australian census. The census examines data such as age, gender, incomes, occupations, dwelling types and occupancy, transportation modes, ancestry, languages spoken, and optional questions, such as religion.
