The 2026 Census is almost here, and one question matters more than many people realise, religion.

If you identify as Christian, even if you only attend church at Christmas or Easter, don’t automatically tick “No religion.”

The Census isn’t asking how often you go to church. It’s asking what your religion is. If Christianity is still part of your identity, beliefs or values, answer honestly.

The results influence how Australia understands itself. They are used by governments, researchers and community organisations to measure religious affiliation and help inform planning and policy. They also shape the national conversation about Australia’s cultural identity.

If millions of people who still identify as Christian tick “No religion” simply because they aren’t regular churchgoers, the data will paint a very different picture of Australia than the reality.

No one should claim to be something they aren’t. If you genuinely have no religion, tick “No religion.” But if you’re Christian, then say you’re Christian.

On Census night, answer truthfully. If you identify as Christian, make sure your Census reflects it.

Representation starts with honest answers.

Census night is Tuesday, 11 August, and for most people in Australia, taking part is not optional.

The Census is compulsory under the Census and Statistics Act 1905, one of Australia’s oldest federal laws still in force.

Everyone in Australia on Census night is generally required to be counted, including babies, tourists and temporary visa holders (with limited exceptions, such as certain foreign diplomats).

If you don’t complete your Census, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) will first contact you with reminders. If you still don’t respond, you may be issued a formal written direction. Continuing to refuse can lead to prosecution and a maximum fine of $364 for each day you fail to comply.

Knowingly providing false or misleading information can result in a maximum penalty of $3,640.

The ABS expects more than 11 million households to take part. The 2021 Census counted 25.4 million people, and the 2026 Census will be Australia’s 19th national Census.

Supporters argue the Census plays a vital role in determining where funding is directed for schools, hospitals, roads and other essential services, while critics question whether participation should be compulsory and whether the amount of personal information collected is justified.

The ABS states it has undertaken independent privacy assessments and says personal Census information is protected under strict confidentiality laws.
