QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGN Private dwelling questionnaire The PES questionnaire collects personal details (name, sex, date of birth, age, relationship in household, marital status, country of birth and Indigenous status) to facilitate matching of PES person records to Census person records and to allow accurate undercount estimates to be generated for age and sex categories, and indigenous status.The PES also asks respondents:
Discrete Indigenous community questionnaire As in 2006, a specially designed PAPI questionnaire and CAI instrument will be used in discrete Indigenous communities. A number of questions in the mainstream PES questionnaire are not considered applicable to people living in discrete Indigenous communities and have been adapted to ensure that information is collected in the most culturally appropriate manner. For example, it is more common for Indigenous persons in the community to have more than one name by which they may be known. This tailored questionnaire ensures that sufficient information is collected to effectively match persons, taking into account the potentially different nature of matching. The PAPI questionnaire will be available for use for all people, whether Indigenous or non-Indigenous, selected in the PES in discrete Indigenous communities. A community-level questionnaire will also be asked of the community contact or council officer of discrete Indigenous communities. Information collected, such as whether any significant event (for example a sports carnival) may have occurred at the time of the Census, is expected to help with respondent recall and assist in the completion of the individual questionnaires.
