Census 2016: Let’s all of us play our part on 9 August 2016

Nepalese Association of Victoria met with Australian Bureau of Statistics Officials on 22 July 2016 and has been working closely with the government and other agencies in increasing awareness about the forthcoming census.

ABS officials advised that:

1. It is a law to keep the information confidential. To our question whether such information is shared with other departments e.g. Department of Immigration, the response was no raw data will be shared with any other government departments.

2. This year it is expected that more people will use the online form, where as paper forms are still available.

3. If a household has more than one family units (e.g. people not a family), they can contact ABS on 1300 214 531 to request more forms or codes.

4.  There are more questions this time to cover ancestry and language.
