Population clock

    On 28 May 2023 at 10:46:26 PM (Canberra time), the resident population of Australia is projected to be:

    26,500,182

This projection is based on the estimated resident population at 30 September 2022 and assumes growth since then of:
  • one birth every 1 minute and 43 seconds,
  • one death every 3 minutes and 10 seconds,
  • one person arriving to live in Australia every 44 seconds,
  • one Australian resident leaving Australia to live overseas every 1 minute and 53 seconds, leading to
  • an overall total population increase of one person every 55 seconds.

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