Census: 9th August. Be sure to complete

On Tuesday 9th August 2016, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is calling on everyone in Australia to pause and make a difference by taking part in the 17th national Census of Population and Housing, on Tuesday, 9 August.  This is an online census and following receipt of your Census letter in the mail from ABS where you can find out more including your login instructions  at https://stream10.census.abs.gov.au/eCensusWeb/welcome.jsp#top2  Arrangements can be made with ABS to complete a paper census form if that is preferred.
The aim of the Census is to collect accurate data on the key characteristics of the people in Australia on Census night, and the dwellings in which they live. The Census is the only source of comprehensive data for 5 years that will provide input into analysis of intersectional characteristics of disadvantage of the population of Australia classified by Gender.  This analysis will feed into the Gender Indicators Product and the SDG Indicators from 2018. First release of date will commence around April - June 2017 and the second release will follow in November 2017.
eS4W encourages you on August 9 to take part and help inform decisions on policy and planning issues that affect the lives of all Australians and in particular women.
