About the area
Every five years, the ABS counts every person and household in Australia. We call this the Census of Population and Housing (the Census).
About the Census
The Census is the most comprehensive snapshot of the country and tells the story of how we are changing. Census data tells us about the economic, social and cultural make-up of the country. It is the only source of information for small geographic areas and small population groups for the entire country.
It’s important that everyone is counted in the Census to reflect the diversity of Australia. The diverse lifestyles we lead means that the ABS needs to consider how to make completing the Census as easy as possible for everyone. The Census is a major exercise that takes around six years to plan, develop, test, implement, deliver, and disseminate the information collected.
About the 2026 Census Program Team
The ABS has established a dedicated team to run the 2026 Census Program.
The Census team consists of 12 projects across the statistical cycle including teams focused on collection, communications, digital services, data processing, and dissemination.
The Census team are committed to improving the quality and relevance of Census data to meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The team is planning to deploy a suite of activities to enable and support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to participate in the 2026 Census.
In order to ensure that Census activities work together and deliver value for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, they will need to be planned and executed in harmony.
This role is critical to helping us achieve this.
About the role
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Coordination Officer role for the 2026 Census of Population and Housing provides cultural support and guidance to Census staff who plan, design, develop, and execute the Census suite of activities, ultimately enabling and supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to effectively participate in the Census.

- helping the Census to harmoniously plan and execute consistent support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

- advising Census Projects on implementation and monitoring of the Framework for Governance of Indigenous Data and the ABS Reconciliation Action Plan
- providing support in building cultural capability, safety, and integrity amongst Census teams
- work in collaboration with Census Project teams and internal partners to create and implement the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Census Strategy
