For the Household Form, you need a Census Form Number and an eCensus Number to access the eCensus.
For the Personal Form, you need a Census Form Number, a Person Number (PNO), a Summary Form Number (SFNO) and an eCensus Number to access the eCensus.
The Census Form Number, the Person Number and the Summary Form Number can be found on the top right hand corner of the paper Census form. For the Household Form, the Census Form Number identifies the household and is the same for everyone in the household.
The eCensus Number is provided in a sealed envelope, 'Complete Your Census Form Online', along with the paper Census form. For the Household Form, the eCensus Number is the same for everyone in the household that completes a form together.
If an individual or group in the household wish to complete a separate eCensus form you will need to obtain an eCensus Number from your Census Collector or by calling the Census Inquiry Service on 1300 651 181. Use this new eCensus Number together with the Census Form Number provided to the household to complete your separate eCensus form.
The eCensus is designed to work best on Microsoft Windows 95 or higher, Apple Macintosh OS 8.5 or higher. The minimum system requirements are Internet Explorer Version 5.01 or higher, Netscape Version 5 or higher, Firefox 1.0 or higher, with 128-bit encryption enabled. The use of 128-bit encryption will ensure the greatest level of security supported by your browser.
