Major aspects of the population and housing census to be conducted in Australia on June 30, 1986, are outlined in this paper. Procedures followed in the preparation of the census questionnaire as well as those to be followed in the actual collection of data and publication of results are described. Changes from the 1981 census are discussed. It is noted that special attention has been paid to questions on ethnicity and that for the first time, questions on each person's ancestry and language spoken at home are included. An appendix contains a list of proposed topics and questions.
