National, State and Territory Population, June 2025

Australia's population reached 27.6 million in the June 2025 quarter. Population growth continues to slow after the strong rebound that followed the pandemic. Growth has fallen to 1.5 per cent in the year to June 2025 and is slightly below the pre-pandemic decade average. This reflects slowing net overseas migration. Over the year to June 2025, the population increased by 420,000 people. Of this, natural increase (births minus deaths) added 115,000, while net overseas migration added 306,000. Although annual natural increase reached its highest level since 2022, there are still fewer births and more deaths than prior to the pandemic. Net overseas migration has fallen but is still higher than the years before the pandemic.
