Census 2026 - Not Religious? Mark ‘No Religion’

Australia’s next National Census is taking place in August 2026. The Census is conducted every 5 years, and this year is an opportunity for Humanists, and all Australians who are not religious, to have their presence counted!

The Census results shape government decisions on funding, policy, and the role of religion in public life — from school chaplaincy programs to hospital and aged care services.

Humanists Australia is proud to support the Census 2026: Not Religious? Mark No Religion campaign, which encourages every Australian who does not hold a personal religious belief to mark their Census form accordingly. If you are an atheist, agnostic, humanist, freethinker, or simply someone who lives without religion, your honest answer matters.
