Australia's census night involves counting the homeless population, a critical task that helps government services and charities like Street Side Medics deliver targeted support. The ABS counted more than 120,000 people experiencing homelessness at the last census, up 5.2% from 2016, with nearly a quarter aged between 12 and 24. Census staff work in soup kitchens and support centres to capture data on people sleeping rough, in cars, or couch surfing, providing essential information that determines where mobile health services operate.
