Population clock
  

    On 9 February 2012 at 01:29:03 PM (Canberra time), the resident population of Australia is projected to be:

    22,826,485
This projection is based on the estimated resident population at 30 June 2011 and assumes growth since then of:
  • one birth every 1 minute and 47 seconds,
  • one death every 3 minutes and 36 seconds ,
  • a net gain of one international migration every 2 minutes and 49 seconds, leading to
  • an overall total population increase of one person every 1 minute and 34 seconds .

These assumptions are consistent with figures released in Australian Demographic Statistics, June Quarter 2011 (cat. no. 3101.0).
