This year's national survey is going ahead despite the pandemic - but the country might look a little less diverse than usual.

When Ruvindri Gunawardena came to Australia as a tourist in 2017, she knew it would be the place she'd one day study in."By that point, I had already heard so much great stuff about the Australian education system."

"We generally have 200,000 to 300,000 net overseas migration growth each year, so this is very unusual for Australia."Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Census night will still take place on Tuesday 10 August. "For this year, we're looking at about minus 72,000 in terms of our net overseas migration numbers, so that's quite low." A shortage of skilled workers from overseas is threatening the recovery of Australia's hospitality sector

But it is workers like these that Australia has been in dire need of since international borders closed in March last year.
