Ten per cent of Australian households are currently accruing fines of $222 a day for not filling out the census - and others could end up paying ten times that amount.
Only a little more than 90 per cent of households have properly completed the form issued by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, since the deadline on October 1.
All those who did not know about the census, did not bother doing it, or provided incomplete information will receive a Notice of Direction demanding a payment of $222 every day until the form is completed.
Residents who deliberately provided false information will be slapped with an additional $2,220 fine.
The 2021 Census marked the 18th time the national survey has been distributed to households.
