Your census questions, answered

It is census week! Tomorrow - on Tuesday August 11 - every single person in Australia will be required to fill out the census - that’s the largest form of information gathering conducted in Australia.

It only happens once every five years - and this census is a historic census because for the first time, you will be asked about your sexual orientation and your gender. 

Over on our Instagram stories, we asked you what you want to know about how this will all work. And today, Elliot and I are going to take you through those answers.

Hosts: Elliot Lawry and Billi FitzSimonsProducer: Orla MaherVideo editor: Imogen Abbott
