Part 1: There are many ways you can provide your feedback to the ABS
1.Workshop update 2.00 pm 19 March
Due to the rapidly evolving situation around novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Australia and internationally, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has postponed all face-to-face health survey workshops and community sessions which were due to be held across Australia from March until June 2020.
The health and safety of our stakeholders is our highest priority, and this decision was taken with due consideration of the medical advice available and after listening to our stakeholders and members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
We acknowledge there has been a lot of interest in these workshops and community sessions, and we hope to be able to run them in the future. In the interim we are exploring options for virtual consultation, such as video conferences or Webinars.
You can have your say now through the ABS paper Future Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Surveys – Have Your Say, 2020, or by completing an online survey.
We will be in touch as more information becomes available.
If you would like more information, please contact us via email (coeatsis@abs.gov.au).
