According to the United Nations World Population Prospects 2024, the estimated population of Australia is 27,468,040, growing at an annual rate of 0.98%. That works out to a net change of approximately 714 people per day or 29 per hour.
The population change in Australia is driven by three components: approximately 304,326 births per year and 183,315 deaths per year, plus net migration. Together these components produce the overall growth rate of 0.98% per year.
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.
