Every five (5) years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics counts every person and household in Australia. This is called the Census of Population and Housing.

The Census asks questions about many things, including your age, country of birth, cultural background, living situation, work and education.

Information from the Census helps planning for health care, transport, schools, and infrastructure. It’s also used to help plan local services for individuals, families and communities.

Everyone in Australia on Census night, Tuesday 11 August 2026, must be included on the Census form. This includes:

- visa holders
- international visitors
- international students.

The Census is compulsory under the "Census and Statistics Act 1905".

"AusAlert National Test" (Monday, 27 July 2026)

Today, Monday 27 July 2026, a test "Critical Alert" will be sent to all compatible mobile devices in Australia.

The alert will override all 'silent' and 'do not disturb' device settings.

It will appear like a system notification on screens and make a loud siren sound for ten (10) seconds and it will clearly say it is a test.

Please note the "test" will be sent to most phones, and some smart watches and tablets and you simply don’t need to do anything.

Finally, if receiving an AusAlert test message will disrupt you or cause you or someone you know to feel unsafe, turn off your mobile devices or switch them to aeroplane mode before the scheduled test time in your location and leave them off for at least one (1) hour.

For more information, please refer to - https://www.ausalert.gov.au/
