Your name and address

We use names in the collection process so that Collectors can talk to you and address you correctly and to help us work out the different families in each household.
Addresses are also used to show how many people live in particular areas.
The ABS does not keep people's names and addresses once statistical processing is completed. For those who agree in Question 40, name-identified Census information will be provided to the National Archives of Australia for release after 99 years.

How to answer

Include everyone who spent the night at this dwelling on Census Night, Tuesday 8 August 2006. If a member of your household did not spend the Census Night in this dwelling they should be included at Question 53.

If a baby in the household has not yet been given a name, enter 'BABY' instead of a first name.

Shift workers who did not spend the night of Tuesday 8 August 2006 at work, but returned home to this dwelling on Wednesday 9 August 2006 should be included on the form at Question 2a and Question 2b.
