Australia’s next Census is on Tuesday 11 August 2026.

Census data helps governments and not-for-profits make important decisions about local services for our community.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics is currently accepting applications for Community Field Officers! Community Field Officers support people from all cultures and communities to complete their Census form. They provide information about the Census and help people in-person to complete their form.

They are looking for a range of people with lived experience and experience working with:

· People living with disability
· People experiencing homelessness
· Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
· People from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
· Youth and older Australians

These jobs are temporary, flexible and close to home, and suit a variety of schedules.

If you are interested in applying, please go to census.abs.gov.au/jobs for more information.

It’s Healthy Vision Month. 👁️

A common myth we hear all the time is “If I can see fine, my eyes are healthy.”

Vision problems don’t always come with obvious warning signs. Many serious eye conditions, like glaucoma or macular degeneration, can develop without pain or early symptoms.

That means you could have changes in your vision without even noticing.

In fact, people often assume their eyes are fine simply because they’re not experiencing discomfort, but that’s not how vision works.

Regular eye tests aren’t just about seeing clearly - they’re about catching what you can’t see yet. Early detection can make all the difference.

Today on Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we’re celebrating digital access and inclusion.

Accessibility removes barriers, supports all kinds of users, reflects our values, and is an ongoing commitment to designing with care.

Over the past week we shared simple accessibility tips for people living with low or no vision: alt text, headings, readable colours, descriptive links, hashtags, video audio descriptions and keyboard friendly design.

These small, everyday actions make a big difference and actually help everyone, not just people with low or no vision.

Let’s keep learning, improving, and keep inclusion at the heart of how we communicate.

Write multi‑word hashtags in CamelCase by capitalising the first letter of each word (e.g., , ) so screen readers pronounce each word correctly. It also improves readability for everyone.

Audio descriptions provide a narrated account of key visual elements in videos — such as scene changes, costumes, gestures, and on-screen text — woven into natural pauses in dialogue. This allows people with low or no vision to understand the context and emotions of each scene.
