The Estimated Resident Population (ERP) of Australia grew by 0.3 per cent in the June 2022 quarter, to be 1.1 per cent higher than a year earlier.

Overseas migration continued to recover strongly with a net inflow of 58,000 in the June 2022 quarter. This saw net overseas migration contributing two‑thirds of quarterly population growth, similar to quarters prior to the COVID‑19 pandemic.

Deaths increased to 182,000 over the year to June 2022, 10.0 per cent higher than the year to June 2021. This more than offset a small increase in births, resulting in natural increase (births minus deaths) falling to 124,000.

Queensland had the fastest growing population over the year to June 2022, followed by Western Australia and Victoria. The Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania, and the Northern Territory were the slowest growing jurisdictions over the year to June 2022.

New South Wales and Victoria saw smaller net interstate migration outflows than the previous quarter, while Queensland continued to have the largest net inflow of interstate migrants.
