Census night is next Tuesday 10^th August 2021

We spoke to Jillian Segal AO, President of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, the national roof body of the Australian Jewish community about the importance of completing the Census.

She assured the community that the information is confidential, as many Jews are reluctant to write that they are Jewish because of our history of anti-Semitism and persecutions.

More information:

Census data plays an important part in shaping government policy decisions and is a snapshot of our country. Accurate data means no one gets left behind when planning our healthcare, housing, aged care, and other essential services.

In the religion question, you will be given a list of options to select. Judaism/Jewish will not be listed.

Instead of selecting from the options given, tick other and write in JUDAISM or JEWISH. Under Language: Hebrew

Remember governments funds are allocated relying on the Census results.
