How can we count on the 2026 Australian Census?

Government & Organisations, Society & Culture

Studies show that more same six couples live together now that marriage equality has passed in Australia, but how do we know when our communities aren’t counted on the Census?

The Australian Bureau of Statistics announced last week that LGBTQI would be included in its proposed shortlist of topics being considered for inclusion in the 2026 Census, does that actually mean anything?

Rach & Dean welcomed JOYS Rainbow Advocate Evalyn Venture onto JOY Breakfast to break down what this means and what we can do about it.

The ABS is undertaking a review of topics for the 2026 Census. Public consultation helps inform our recommendation to the Australian Government on the topics that could be included in the Census.

Phase two of the consultation is open from 27 July until 8 September 2023. The ABS is seeking feedback on topics being considered for change or removal from the 2026 Census.
