More than 5,800 years after the world’s first ever census, the 2021 Australian Census is just under 200 days away.
As demographers, there are fewer exciting occasions in our calendar! As the largest statistical collection undertaken in Australia, the Census of Population and Housing is the most reliable and comprehensive source of information on who we are and how we are changing.
In April, the Census website will be launched and from late July, households will start receiving their Census instructions. Census night will be on Tuesday the 10th of August.

Women with disability at increased risk of violence: Australia
Women living with disability were more likely to have experienced a range of violent behaviours over a 12-month period than women without disability, according to new figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
ABS Director of the National Centre for Crime and Justice Statistics, Will Milne, said new analysis of 2016 Personal Safety Survey data found women living with disability were more likely to have experienced physical violence, partner violence and emotional abuse, sexual harassment, and stalking, over a 12-month period.
“The greatest disparity in risk was found for partner violence, with results showing that women living with disability were nearly twice as likely as women without disability to have experienced violence by a partner over a 12-month period (2.5 percent compared with 1.3 percent).
