CENSUS NATURE AND CONTENT
Census of Population and Housing: Nature and Content, Australia, 2016 (cat. no. 2008.0) outlines the nature and content of the 2016 Census, including information on the topics and questions in the Census. This publication, released in August 2015, also outlines the procedures that will be followed in collecting, processing and disseminating the data.
Census Nature and Content outlines the new "Digital First" approach to the Census which aims to take advantage of technology and maintaining coverage while reducing costs. The 2016 Census will introduce significant changes to the way the Census is conducted, with about two-thirds of Australians expected to respond online, twice the 33% online response in 2011.
The publication discusses how the 2016 Census will be a launching pad for a transformation in the way the ABS collects and provides access to data about Australia's population into the future. This will improve and expand the information available to Australians, through integration of 2016 Census data with previous Censuses and other datasets and through the application of statistical methods to provide modelled estimates and area indexes.
