Make Dowerin Count – Complete Your Census Tuesday 11th August!
Every person matters. Every response counts.
The Census provides vital information that helps determine how funding and services are allocated to regional communities like Dowerin. It influences decisions on roads, healthcare, aged care, childcare, education, housing, emergency services, recreation facilities and community infrastructure.
For local governments, Census data is far more than statistics—it helps determine how funding is distributed and supports the case for future investment
An accurate Census count strengthens our case when advocating for government investment and ensures our community receives the funding and services it needs—both now and into the future.
We particularly encourage everyone in our community to take part, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, seasonal workers, young people, seniors and those living on rural properties. Every person counted helps build a clearer picture of our community and ensures no one is left behind.
Whether you've lived in Dowerin your whole life or have recently made our community home, your participation makes a difference.
On Tuesday, 11 August, make sure you're counted. Together, let's ensure Dowerin receives the recognition, funding and opportunities our community deserves.
