ACCESSING 2006 CENSUS DATA WILL BE EVEN EASIER...
For the 2006 Census, a new, simplified web interface has been developed by the ABS. This interface guides the user through a series of steps which will enable access to products relevant to their needs. This ongoing process demonstrates ABS's commitment towards making greater use of the Internet, catering for the broad range and experience of users, and providing better access to self-help services.
A taste of what is to come...
