Australia’s population grew overall by 423,400 people in the year to March 2025, reaching 27.5 million, but growth has slowed as overseas migration continues to fall.

Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show 315,900 people were added through net migration over the year—down from 493,800 in the previous 12 months.
