About the forms

All of the Census 2002 and Census 2006 forms were designed with scanning in mind. The main household form caters for up to six persons present in the household on Census Night. The household form also seeks limited information about persons who were temporarily away from the household on Census Night. A listing form was provided for communal establishments. Every person present in the communal establishment on Census Night is listed on the form and receives an individual form for completion.
