Residents reminded census forms can be completed early

“With census night only a week away, we’re reminding everyone that you can complete your census early if you know where you’ll be on census night,” she said.

Those who are yet to receive their census instructions or would like to complete the census separately from the rest of their household are advised to head to the census website to get a census number or request a paper form.

People who won’t be at their usual residence on census night should go to the census website and indicate whether the house will be vacant and if residents will be staying elsewhere or travelling.
