Join The #CountUsIn2026 Campaign: Make Every Voice Count In The 2026 Census
The government’s decision to leave out questions about gender identity, sexual orientation, and variations in sex characteristics from the 2026 Census has sparked a call to action. Equality Australia is urging everyone to join the #CountUsIn2026 campaign.
Why does this matter? Including all communities in the census ensures that everyone’s needs are recognised and addressed. Accurate data is crucial for planning services and resources that truly reflect Australia’s diversity.
Nicky Bath, CEO of LGBTIQ+ Health Australia, points out that without this data, vital services might not reach those who need them most. This decision leaves significant gaps in understanding health and well-being disparities.
Equality Australia has launched a petition to urge the government to reconsider. By signing, you can help ensure everyone is counted and valued in the 2026 Census.
Your voice matters. Join the #CountUsIn campaign today and make a difference for future generations. Sign the petition at Equality Australia’s website and help create a more inclusive future for all.
