澳大利亚统计局公布了2026年人口普查数据的发布时间表，结果将分三个阶段推出 [1]。首批关键数据定于2027年6月发布，第二批将在2027年10月推出，完整数据集预计于2028年初中期完成 [1]。
澳大利亚统计局人口普查和人口统计总经理珍妮·特尔福德表示："2027年6月看起来时间遥远，但澳大利亚是个非常大的国家" [1]。截至周三上午，统计局已收到800多万份已完成的普查表格，占澳大利亚人口的三分之二以上 [1]。
首批发布的数据将包括人口特征（年龄、性别、性别认同、性取向）、家庭构成、出生国、语言、宗教、教育、收入、住房、健康和残疾等多个维度的信息 [1]。
The Australian Bureau of Statistics has announced a phased release schedule for the 2026 Census data, with the first tranche of results arriving in June 2027, followed by additional releases in October 2027 and mid-2028.[1] By Wednesday morning, over 8 million completed census forms had been received, representing more than two-thirds of Australia's population.[1]
The initial June 2027 release will include demographic characteristics such as age, sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation, alongside information on household composition, country of birth, language spoken, religion, education, income, housing, health, and disability status.[1] Jenny Telford, General Manager of Census and Demography at the Australian Bureau of Statistics, acknowledged the timeline: "June 2027, it might sound like a long time away, but Australia is a really big country."[1] The complete dataset is expected to be finalized by mid-2028.[1]
