    They only started handing them out of Friday. You have another 4 weeks before census day.

    So, will they pop the form through the mailbox or do you actually need to be home? I've never done a census - I'm actaully excited about it :o

    Usually home but if not they pop in a card with a number to call for arranging for them to call back with the census form. Its like filling in an online survey not so exciting at question 10 of 100.

    Got mine yesterday afternoon. The enumerator took details about head of household, the number of people normally resident at address, and confirmed that the address was correct. These details were then entered in a master sheet. The enumerator then explained the form, how to fill it in and pointed out some changes from the previous census.

    Here is a link containing the duties of an enumerator:

    Whilst I agree 100% with the principle of having a census, I'm not comfortable with the detail of some info required. If it falls into the wrong hands identity theft can very easily be committed. But you're obliged by law to cooperate so there's no way out.

    That's not normal, right?

    When will the enumerator collect my completed census form?

    The enumerator will return between Monday 11 April and Monday 9 May to collect your completed form. In the meantime please keep your completed Census Form in a safe place and at hand until the Enumerator calls to collect it. If you miss your enumerator when they call, they will leave a calling card with their name and number. Please call or text them to arrange a suitable time to collect your form.
