Population clock

    On 2 August 2021 at 01:23:50 PM (Canberra time), the resident population of Australia is projected to be:

    25,796,677

This projection is based on the estimated resident population at 31 December 2020 and assumes growth since then of:
  • one birth every 1 minute and 43 seconds,
  • one death every 3 minutes and 13 seconds,
  • one person arriving to live in Australia every 1 minute and 30 seconds,
  • one Australian resident leaving Australia to live overseas every 1 minute and 26 second, leading to
  • an overall total population increase of one person every 4 minutes and 12 seconds.

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