Australia to Include Optional Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation in 2026 Census

Australia will for the first time include questions on gender identity and sexual orientation in its 2026 national census.

The decision follows a policy reversal by the Labor government, which had previously opposed including such questions. The move is aimed at better capturing demographic data on LGBTQ+ communities across the country.
