    On 5 April 2013 at 11:22:50 PM (Canberra time), the resident population of Australia is projected to be:

    22,981,173
This projection is based on the estimated resident population at 30 September 2012 and assumes growth since then of:
  • one birth every 1 minute and 44 seconds,
  • one death every 3 minutes and 32 seconds ,
  • a net gain of one international migration every 2 minutes and 19 seconds, leading to
  • an overall total population increase of one person every 1 minute and 23 seconds .

These assumptions are consistent with figures released in Australian Demographic Statistics, September Quarter 2012 (cat. no. 3101.0).
