Census: fill-in the form drop-in session

With the Census fast approaching the ABS will be at the Margaret River Library on Thursday, July 30th from 1pm to 3 pm to answer general questions about the Census and demonstrate what you have to do on Tuesday, August 11th.

Fill-in-the-Form sessions are staffed by Community Field Officers from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. These field officers can help people complete their online Census form (we will have electronic devices available).

Members of the public can also get paper forms to fill out. The field officers can answer general questions about the Census too.
