Help with the Census Test through myGov

If you live in a Census Test area, you may get a letter or paper form in the mail even if you subscribed to get Census Test updates through myGov.

You can choose to complete the Census Test on behalf of your household in your preferred way.

If you’re filling out the Census Test form for your household, you should include everyone who’ll stay the night at your home on Census Test night, Tuesday 5 August 2025, including visitors and babies.

If someone in the household would like to complete a separate form for privacy reasons, they will be able to get a Census number to complete online or request a paper form by calling the Census Contact Centre.

Find out more about what information you’ll need to do the Census Test.

If your address changed between when you subscribed and Census Test night on Tuesday 5 August 2025, you can update it when completing your online form.
