Shifting demographics: Australia's altered population landscape

Insights

In recent years, Australia has experienced a significant slowdown and, in some cases, a decline in population growth due to the closure of international borders amid the global pandemic. New data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, tracked by SGS Economics and Planning, highlights this transformative period and its impact on the country's population trends.

SGS Economics and Planning acknowledge the First Nations Peoples of Australia and on whose Country we live and work. We acknowledge that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia never ceded their sovereignty, and are one of the oldest continuing living cultures on Earth, have one of the oldest continuing land tenure systems in the world, and have one of the oldest continuing land use planning and management systems in the world.
