Being Counted Where You Usually Live (FIFO Workers)

50% Here? Get Counted Here

The Census counts people where they usually live. Usually live means the place where you have lived, or intend to live, for six months or more.

If you spend 50% or more of your time in the City of Karratha, this is considered your Usual Place of Residence for the Census - even if you spend your time off in another location.

This includes:

  • Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) and Drive-in Drive-out (DIDO) workers  
  • People who live across multiple towns or locations  
  • People who spend most of their time in the City of Karratha and use local services and infrastructure

Being counted at your usual place of residence is a Census requirement and helps secure funding for the infrastructure and services you rely on, including health services, airports, shops, roads, recreation spaces and community facilities.
 

Remember, Every Person Counts!
