The 2026 Census provides important information that helps governments and communities plan services, infrastructure and investment for the future.

For organisations supporting children and young people, there are unique considerations when working with people living in residential care, out-of-home care, transitional accommodation, crisis accommodation or experiencing homelessness.

Join PeakCare and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for a practical Lunchbox Session that will explain what organisations need to know, answer common questions and provide practical guidance to support participation in the Census.

You'll learn about

How organisations can support children and young people to participate in the Census
Guidance for residential care, out-of-home care and temporary accommodation settings
Supporting young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness
How different living arrangements are reflected in Census collection
Privacy and confidentiality protections
Resources available to assist your organisation
Live Q&A with the ABS
