    On 1 August 2010 at 08:19:42 AM (Canberra time), the resident population of Australia is projected to be:

    22,407,158
This projection is based on the estimated resident population at 31 December 2009 and assumes growth since then of:
  • one births every 1 minute and 47 seconds,
  • one death every 3 minutes and 44 seconds,
  • a net gain of one international migration every 1 minute and 54 seconds, leading to
  • an overall total population increase of one person every 1 minute and 13 seconds.

These assumptions are consistent with figures released in Australian Demographic Statistics, December Quarter 2009 (cat. no. 3101.0).
