Advocates respond to excluding LGBTQ+ questions in 2026 Census Australia
Briefly

When populations are invisible in the Census, they are at increased risk of marginalisation and disadvantage. This impacts their visibility in health and socio-economic data.
The omission of comprehensive data collection on sex, gender, and innate variations of sex characteristics in the 2026 Census will undermine our ability to understand the health needs.
We call on our leaders to be clear and bold in ensuring no one is overlooked due to data gaps, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community.
