According to the ABS Census Help website, fear not:

If everyone is completing their Census online, can the system cope?
There is plenty of reserve capacity to cope if more than 80 per cent of Australians choose to complete the Census online (expected peak load of 250 submissions per second, system capacity of 360 submissions per second). This figure is based on testing and take-up rates of online options for international Censuses.

What could possibly go wrong ?
