The games of the XXXV Olympiad

Australia will welcome the Olympic Games for a third time after Brisbane won the right to host in an unopposed race, the International Olympic Committee announced Wednesday. Of the 80 votes distributed to IOC member nations in Tokyo asking whether they accept to elect Brisbane, three abstained, five voted “no” and 72 voted “yes.” It will also mark the second time Australia has hosted the Paralympic Games, which were first held in 1960.

Brisbane’s election means the next three hosts of the summer Games have been secured. Paris will host in 2024 and Los Angeles in 2028.

Census - Tuesday 10 August 2021

The Census is the most comprehensive snapshot of the country and tells the story of how we are changing. It counts every household and every person in Australia. Census data is used to plan and deliver services across Australia. The Census isn’t just numbers, but what those numbers tell us – every stat tells a story. That’s why your participation is vital.
