About births in Australia

Based on data from the United Nations World Population Prospects (2024), an estimated 304,326 people are born in Australia each year. That works out to roughly 834 births per day, 34 per hour, or approximately one person every 103.63 seconds. The counter above tracks the estimated number of births that have occurred so far today.

The crude birth rate in Australia is approximately 11.3 births per 1,000 people , which is below the global average of 16.1 per 1,000. The total fertility rate stands at 1.64 children per woman. Since this is below the replacement level of 2.1, the population of Australia would decline over the long term without net immigration.

In addition to births, approximately 183,315 deaths occur in Australia each year, resulting in a natural increase of approximately 121,011 people per year.
