Population clock

    On 19 May 2022 at 05:36:12 AM (Canberra time), the resident population of Australia is projected to be:

    25,892,515

This projection is based on the estimated resident population at 30 September 2021 and assumes growth since then of:
  • one birth every 1 minute and 45 seconds,
  • one death every 3 minutes and 12 seconds,
  • one person arriving to live in Australia every 1 minute and 1 second,
  • one Australian resident leaving Australia to live overseas every 1 minute and 14 seconds, leading to
  • an overall total population increase of one person every 2 minutes and 20 seconds.

These assumptions are consistent with figures released in National, state and territory population.
