Introduction


The Australian Bureau of Statistics is legislated to collect, hold and disseminate census data under the Australian Bureau of Statistics Act 1975 (ABS Act), and the Census and Statistics Act 1905 (Census and Statistics Act).[3]
The 2016 Australian census was the previous census completed. Participation in the census is compulsory which empowers the Statistician to request persons to complete forms.[4][5][6] Personally-identified information kept and securely held by the National Archives of Australia (NAA) for 99 years will be made public in 2120.[7]


The final 2021 census questions are anticipated to be published in 2020.[8]
