Behind The Bio with Jenny Telford, ABS General Manager of Census and Population

Ashley Feraude in conversation with Jenny Telford, who looks after the Census at the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

If you have ever wondered how the Census is organised, gathered, interpreted and used, then this is the episode for you.

Jenny discusses the process of designing the research, gathering the data and interpreting it so that major and highly informed decisions affecting Australians can be made at a government level.

The insights into our community, culture, and society are fascinating, not only providing a snapshot of the present but also offering an insight into the future through data-driven projections.

Interestingly, our results are also compared to those of partnering countries also undertaking this research activity.
