The Northern Territory needs approximately 57 Area Supervisors.

Northern Territory Director of the ABS, Mr Tom Joseph says Area Supervisors are crucial to the success of the Census to ensure everyone in the Northern Territory are accurately counted.

"Area Supervisors make an enormous difference to the quality and accuracy of the data that we produce from the Census by managing Collectors," Mr Joseph says.
