One message from the session is especially important:
If you are in Australia on Census Night, you need to be counted- including international students, temporary workers, visa holders and visitors.
For multicultural communities, Census participation is essential. It shows how many of us live here, which languages we speak and what support our communities may need.
For the Russian-speaking community, accurate Census data can help strengthen the case for resources such as:
• ethnic and community-language schools
• translated information and interpreting
• health, cultural and community programs
When our community is counted, our community becomes visible.
