Perth is the fastest-growing capital in Australia with a population increase of over 81,000 in 2022-23.

The primary contributors to Perth's growth are overseas migration and natural increase, particularly in the suburbs of Bentley, Wilson, and St James.

Population density is on the rise in Perth, especially in inner-city areas.

Melbourne has now overtaken Sydney as the most populous city in Australia.

The population growth in Australian cities is partly due to the return of international students post-COVID-19.

Brisbane and major regional areas in Queensland are experiencing significant population growth.

Canberra-Queanbeyan's population has reached over 500,000, with Albury-Wodonga hitting the 100,000 mark.

Australia's capitals and largest regional centres comprise 92% of the total 634,000 national population increase, marking a considerable shift in population trends.
