Address

(Q1 in the Census Household Form)

We use addresses to count how many people live in each area. This is important for understanding what infrastructure and support people in different areas need. Knowing where people live, and their characteristics is important for planning and delivering services.

After data collection and processing, names and addresses are removed from other personal and household information. We store names and addresses securely and separately from one another. The Separation Principle ensures no one can view your name and address with other Census data.

Our legislation is very clear that we can't release information in a way that could identify anyone.

You can find more information about privacy at the ABS.

• Complete as many of the address details as you can.
• Online form only: If entering address manually, for Norfolk Island and other external territories, such as Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Jervis Bay, please select 'Other external territory' in the State/Territory box.
