Language selection

Languages have been prioritised using data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census of Population and Housing 2021. The following Census measures were combined to identify the most common languages spoken by people who were not proficient in English:

  • Language Spoken at Home (LANP)
  • English Proficiency (ENGLP)
