	Population at 30 September 2022 ('000)	Change over previous year ('000)	Change over previous year (%)
New South Wales	8193.5	108.7	1.3
Victoria	6656.3	108.4	1.7
Queensland	5354.8	114.4	2.2

Australia (a)	26124.8	418.5	1.6

a. Includes Other Territories comprising Jervis Bay Territory, Christmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Norfolk Island.

State and territory population change is comprised of natural increase, net overseas migration, and net interstate migration (interstate arrivals minus interstate departures).

Components of annual population change

For the year ending 30 September 2022:

net interstate migration was the major contributor to population change in Queensland and the Northern Territory.
net overseas migration was the major contributor to change in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory.

Internal migration, capital city - rest of state

Datacube 4 contains provisional statistics on internal migration between Greater Capital City Statistical Areas (GCCSAs) and Rest of state regions of Australia, for the June 2022 quarter. Similar data was previously released in Regional internal migration estimates, provisional which covered the period June 2020 to March 2021.

Internal migration for GCCSAs by financial year is released in Regional population annually, as regional internal migration estimates (RIME). The internal migration data in RIME and the state and territory migration data presented elsewhere in National, state and territory population are used to compile the official measure of population in Australia. The quarterly internal migration data released in datacube 4 are provisional, and should only be used to provide more timely insights on internal migration patterns.

Notes

COVID-19

Statistics in this release are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting Australian Government closure of the international border through most of 2020 and 2021.

To ensure the ongoing production of fit-for-purpose official population estimates through the COVID-19 pandemic, the ABS has been assessing the likely impact of changed traveller behaviour on preliminary overseas migration estimates, a component of ERP. The ABS has introduced more frequent revisions to overseas migration to ensure the suite of demographic statistics continue to be of high quality and reflect the most timely data available. Preliminary overseas migration estimates will be revised every quarter over four quarters, instead of once after four quarters, until it becomes final. These more frequent revisions will ensure the most timely and accurate data flows through to ERP.

For further information see the Improvements to estimation of net overseas migration.

I-note

Population components prior to September 2021 will not sum to total population growth due to intercensal difference.

Intercensal difference is the difference between the preliminary ERP for 30 June in a Census year (carried forward from the previous Census base using births, deaths and migration data) and the final ERP for the same time point (based on the new Census). The intercensal difference by age and sex for each state and territory is spread evenly across the intercensal quarters. Thus intercensal difference acts as a balancing item that when combined with births, deaths and migration equals total population growth for that period.

For more information see Methodology used in rebased population estimates, June 2021.
