2016 CENSUS CONSULTATION
Planning for the 2016 Census of Population and Housing is underway, and the ABS invites you to have your say.
On 6 November 2012, the ABS will release a publication proposing directions for Australia's 17th national Census, to be held in 2016.
The publication (2016 Census of Population and Housing: Consultation on content and procedures – ABS cat. no. 2007.0) will outline initial ABS views on topics and procedures for the 2016 Census.
To coincide with this publication release, the ABS will also begin a consultation process with Census data users and the general public. The consultation process includes:
- public information sessions where the ABS will present proposed directions for 2016
- a submission period where interested parties can formally submit their feedback and suggestions to the ABS via an online submission form.
