About the Area

The next Census will be conducted in August 2021. The 2021 Census will provide the base for official counts of Australians and the dwellings in which they live. It will also provide a snapshot of the economic, social and cultural make-up of our nation, and help tell the story of how Australia has changed. The Census also provides the only opportunity to produce more comprehensive statistics on local communities and small population groups. Community groups, local councils, business, governments and researchers will use Census information to determine how billions of dollars are spent, and what services are delivered to support local and diverse communities. Positions are available across various levels and business streams within the 2021 Census Program.

We're looking for applicants to tell us about what skills, experience or qualifications they can bring to the 2021 Census. When a vacancy arises we will review applications to see if someone has the skills and experience we need.
