Australian census

The Australian Census is a nationwide survey conducted every five years to collect detailed information about the country's population, households, and living conditions. It helps government, businesses, and community organizations understand demographic trends, employment, housing, education, health, and cultural diversity. Participation is mandatory for residents, and the data gathered informs policy-making, funding allocation, and service planning. The census is confidential, ensuring individual responses are protected, and results are used solely for statistical purposes to improve Australia's social and economic welfare.
