You can ask a trusted person to help you fill out your Census Test form. This could be a family member, a carer or a friend.

If you want to complete the Census Test using a paper form, you can request one. A Reply Paid envelope will be provided for you to return your completed form. Information on where to find a post box in your local area can be found on the Australia Post website.

We’re working closely with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Census Test areas in and around Katherine to make sure everyone can take part and be counted. 

The online form for the Census Test has been built to be user-friendly and inclusive.

It includes keyboard navigation to support assistive technologies. It will also filter questions so that only items relevant to you are shown.
