ABS - Monthly Population Survey
« on: August 24, 2016, 06:16:21 PM »
We drew the short straw again..... >:(

Our household has been "selected" to take part in the Monthly Population Survey.
Every month, for 8 months, we're required to complete another ABS form.
Did anybody else get "selected"?

I'm sure it won't take all that long to do, but I'm over being the bunny....
(It seems like only yesterday that our one-man company was "selected" for much the same thing..... ::) ::))

 :cheers:

Just lucky, Geoff.  You are obviously a very 'representative' person, since they select households to get a balanced representation of the community.

Normally for MPS they visit you for the first survey and ask you the questions (they fill in the form for you).  For subsequent ones they try to just ring you at a time of your choosing and go through the questions with you.  Very quick after the first one.

Weve had the abs financial survey the last two years. Pretty hard to fill out accurately when the accountant hasnt done it yet.
