Australian Migration Statistics is a statistical package provided as an accompaniment to the annual publication Australia’s Migration Trends published on the Department of Home Affairs website. The statistical package (first produced for the 2016–17 edition of Australia’s Migration Trends) provides detailed statistics on permanent and temporary migration.

The number of Facebook users in Australia was forecast to continuously decrease between 2024 and 2028 by in total 1,470,000 users (-9.74 percent). After the seventh consecutive decreasing year, the Facebook user base is estimated to reach 13,620,000 users and therefore a new minimum in 2028. User figures, shown here regarding the platform facebook, have been estimated by taking into account company filings or press material, secondary research, app downloads and traffic data. They refer to the average monthly active users over the period and count multiple accounts by persons only once.The shown data are an excerpt of Statista's Key Market Indicators (KMI). The KMI are a collection of primary and secondary indicators on the macro-economic, demographic and technological environment in up to 150 countries and regions worldwide. All indicators are sourced from international and national statistical offices, trade associations and the trade press and they are processed to generate comparable data sets (see supplementary notes under details for more information).

Contains quarterly estimates of profits, income from the sale of goods and services, wages and salaries, and the book value of inventories. These data are classified by broad industry, and original, seasonally adjusted and trend estimates are included for Australia, in current price terms. Volume measures are published for sales and inventories. State/territory data will also be included for sales, and wages and salaries, in current price terms.

This dataset presents statistics regarding tourism to specific Local Government Areas (LGA) around Australia. The LGAs covered in the data are a subset of the LGA boundaries classified in the 2018 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

The data presents statistics for reason for visit, travel party type and accommodation details for trips to the specified LGAs by their location of origin and visit duration. The data values are representative of a yearly average based on the four years of: 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Tourism Research Australia (TRA) first developed Local Government Area tourism profiles in 2007 to assist industry and Government decision making and to identify and support investment opportunities, particularly in regional Australia. The latest profiles provide an update for over 200 Local Government Areas. Data are drawn from TRA's International Visitor Survey (IVS) and National Visitor Survey (NVS), along with demographic and business data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Profiles were only prepared for Local Government Areas with adequate IVS and NVS sample to present robust results. Further, data are averaged over four years, which minimises the impact of variability in estimates from year to year, and provides for more robust volume estimates.

In June 2022, it was estimated that around 7.3 percent of Australians were aged between 25 and 29, and the same applied to people aged between 30 and 34. All in all, about 55 percent of Australia’s population was aged 35 years or older as of June 2022. At the same time, the age distribution of the country also shows that the share of children under 14 years old was still higher than that of people over 65 years old. A breakdown of Australia’s population growth Australia is the sixth-largest country in the world, yet with a population of around 26 million inhabitants, it is only sparsely populated. Since the 1970s, the population growth of Australia has remained fairly constant. While there was a slight rise in the Australian death rate in 2022, the birth rate of the country decreased after a slight rise in the previous year. The fact that the birth rate is almost double the size of its death rate gives the country one of the highest natural population growth rates of any high-income country.
National distribution of the population Australia’s population is expected to surpass 28 million people by 2028. The majority of its inhabitants live in the major cities. The most populated states are New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland. Together, they account for over 75 percent of the population in Australia.

In 2024, around 24.08 percent of Instagram users in Australia were females and aged between 25 and 34. Similarly, around 21 percent of Instagram users in Australia were males and aged between 25 and 34.

There has been a continued upward trend in the population share of active social media users in Australia. As of February 2022, approximately 82.7 percent of the Australian population were active users compared to just 58 percent in 2015.

Preferred social media brands and most popular activities

Facebook was the most popular social media brand in Australia in 2019, with 56 percent saying they used the platform the most often. Elsewhere, 21 percent said they used Instagram and six percent used Snapchat.

Social media is used by Australians for a variety of activities. The most popular use is as a means of communication, with over half of users regularly sending private messages and 50 percent commenting on posts. Active users also post pictures and videos, with 38 percent of users saying they have posted visual content.

When do Australians use social media?

In 2018, most social media use took place during Australians free time; 61 percent said they used social media platforms in the evening, 59 percent were first thing in the morning users, and 42 percent said they logged on during breaks.

Interestingly, when it comes to users being banned from social media, just over half said in 2019 that they somewhat agree that bans are ineffective.

Please Note: As announced by the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection on 25 June 2017, the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) retired the paper-based Outgoing Passenger Cards (OPC) from 1 July 2017. The information previously gathered via paper-based outgoing passenger cards is now be collated from existing government data and will continue to be provided to users. Further information can be accessed here: http://www.minister.border.gov.au/peterdutton/Pages/removal-of-the-outgoing-passenger-card-jun17.aspx.

Due to the retirement of the OPC, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) undertook a review of the OAD data based on a new methodology. Further information on this revised methodology is available at: http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Previousproducts/3401.0Appendix2Jul%202017?opendocument&tabname=Notes&prodno=3401.0&issue=Jul%202017&num=&view=

A sampling methodology has been applied to this dataset. This method means that data will not replicate, exactly, data released by the ABS, but the differences should be negligible.

Due to ‘Return to Source’ limitations, data supplied to ABS from non-DIPB sources are also excluded.

Overseas Arrivals and Departures (OAD) data refers to the arrival and departure of Australian residents or overseas visitors, through Australian airports and sea ports, which have been recorded on incoming or outgoing passenger cards. OAD data describes the number of movements of travellers rather than the number of travellers. That is, multiple movements of individual persons during a given reference period are all counted. OAD data will differ from data derived from other sources, such as Migration Program Outcomes, Settlement Database or Visa Grant information. Travellers granted a visa in one year may not arrive until the following year, or may not travel to Australia at all. Some visas permit multiple entries to Australia, so travellers may enter Australia more than once on a visa. Settler Arrivals includes New Zealand citizens and other non-program settlers not included on the Settlement Database. The Settlement Database includes onshore processed grants not included in Settler Arrivals.

These de-identified statistics are periodically checked for privacy and other compliance requirements. The statistics were temporarily removed in March 2024 in response to a question about privacy within the emerging technological environment. Following a thorough review and risk assessment, the Department of Home Affairs has republished the dataset.

The Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) brings together in one framework all of the regions which the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and many other organisations use to collect, release and analyse geographically classified statistics. The ASGS ensures that these statistics are comparable and geospatially integrated and provides users with a coherent set of standard regions so that they can access, visualise, analyse and understand statistics.

The National Regional Profile presents a standard set of data for a range of geographies, at this case at LGA level. The NRP is intended for users interested in the characteristics of regions and in comparing regions across Australia. Data are in time series, where available.

This dataset contains historic Route Definitions and Statistics with Geometry of traffic flow. The detailed documentation is included at https://www.data.act.gov.au/dataset/realtime-traffic/cjkg-rvmu. Disclaimer : Even though the real-time API updates the info every 30 seconds, we only sample at every 5 minutes for historical archiving
