Making sure homelessness is counted on Census night

The Census is fast approaching with only 12 days until census night – 10th August 2021.

There is a range of supporting documents that the ABS has created for the sector to know how to support people to complete their Census form when they are experiencing homelessness.

Below is an overview;
