Avoiding Australian Social Survey

Summary

The Australian General Social Survey (AGSS) is voluntary, and you can decline participation. Officers cannot enter your property without permission. The Privacy Act 1988 protects your personal information from being collected without consent. You can request identification from survey officers and inquire about data usage. The Census and Statistics Act 1905 mandates participation only for the Census, not the AGSS. For further protection, ask for written documentation of privacy policies and consider consulting a legal expert if needed.
