1. Demographics of Australia
PRESENTATION BY,

2. • For generations, the vast majority of immigrants came from the British Isles, and the people of
Australia are still mainly of British or Irish ethnic origin.
• In the 2011 Australian census, the most commonly nominated ancestry was English (36.1%),
followed by Australian (35.4%),Irish (10.4%), Scottish (8.9%), Italian (4.6%), German (4.5%),
Chinese (4.3%), Indian (2.0%), Greek (1.9%), and Dutch (1.7%).
• Australia is the 52nd most populous country in the world. Its population is concentrated
mainly in urban areas and is expected to exceed 28 million by 2030.
• Australia's population has grown from an estimated population of about 350,000 at the time
of British settlement in 1788 due to numerous waves of immigration during the period since.
Also due to immigration, the European component of the population is declining as a
percentage.
• Australia has fewer than three persons per square kilometre of total land area. With 89.01% of
its population living in urban areas, Australia is one of the world's most urbanised countries.
• The life expectancy of Australia in 1999–2001 was 79.7 years, among the highest in the world.
• In common with many other developed countries, Australia is experiencing a demographic
shift towards an older population, with more retirees and fewer people of working age. In 2004,
the average age of the civilian population was 38.8 years. A large number of Australians

3. Indigenous Australians as a
percentage of the population as
of the 2011 census
•The Indigenous population—Aborigines
and Torres Strait Islanders—was counted
at 548,370 (2.5% of the total population)
in 2011, a significant increase from
115,953 in the 1976 census. The increase
is partly due to many people with
Indigenous heritage previously having
been overlooked by the census due to
undercount and cases where their
Indigenous status had not been recorded
on the form.
•Indigenous Australians experience higher
than average rates of imprisonment and
unemployment, lower levels of education,
and life expectancies for males and
females that are, respectively, 11 and 17
years lower than those of non-indigenous
Australians. Some remote Indigenous
communities have been described as
having "failed state"-like conditions.

9. Population growth rate
As of the end of September 2012, the population growth rate was 1.7%.This rate was
based on estimates of:

a net gain of one international migrant every 2 minutes and 19 seconds leading to
an overall total population increase of one person every 1 minute and 23 seconds.
In 2009, the estimated rates were:
Birth rate – 12.47 births/1,000 population (Rank 164)
Mortality rate – 6.68 deaths/1,000 population (Rank 146)
Net migration rate – 6.23 migrant(s)/1,000 population. (Rank 15)
