澳大利亚将于2026年8月11日进行人口普查，这是一项对所有在澳大利亚的人员的强制性调查[1]。根据规定，访客、临时签证持有者、国际学生和游客都必须完成问卷[1]。提供虚假或误导性信息将面临最高3,640澳元的罚款[1]。
为确保覆盖所有人群，澳大利亚统计局聘用了约30,000名工作人员[1]。这一规模的工作队伍旨在到达无家可归者、住院患者和监禁中的人等特殊群体[1]。普查问卷虽以英语进行，但已提供26种语言的在线信息，翻译和口译服务覆盖150多种语言，以满足非英语使用者的需求[1]。普查问卷最多包含66个问题，涵盖性别认同、祖籍和宗教信仰等内容[1]。
Australia will conduct its national census on August 11, 2026, and participation is mandatory for all people present in the country [1]. This requirement applies to visitors, temporary visa holders, international students, and tourists, in addition to Australian residents [1]. The Australian Bureau of Statistics will deploy approximately 30,000 staff members to ensure the questionnaire reaches all segments of the population, including homeless individuals, hospital patients, and incarcerated persons [1].
The census questionnaire will be administered in English, though support services are widely available for non-English speakers [1]. Online information will be provided in 26 languages, and translation and interpreting services will cover more than 150 languages [1]. The survey contains up to 66 questions, covering topics such as gender identity, ancestry, and religious beliefs [1]. Providing false or misleading information carries a maximum penalty of AUD 3,640 [1].
