Guiding users through the Census

From how census questions are developed, to defining classifications, through to samples of census products and services - information to assist users is in The Census Guide.

We understand that the entirety of the census can be both daunting and confusing for some users, and finding background information about the data can be time consuming.

This year, to assist users of census data, the ABS will be releasing The Census Guide, which contains a range of 2001 Census reference material and product information, all on one CD-ROM. The Census Guide will make it easier to find the required information and is an essential reference tool.

The Census Guide contains information such as:


The Census Guide also contains some free 1996 Census data - including data from 1996 Census Selected Characteristics Publications and the 1996 Census Basic Community Profile extracts - to give clients an indication of the data that will be available from the 2001 Census.

The Census Guide is due to be released in early September. To order your free copy call 1800 813 939.
