In the year to December, the populations of both Queensland and Northern Territory were boosted by Australians looking to change their living circumstances.
Overall, most states and territories have positive population growth rates.
However, Victoria is the region hardest hit by the COVID-19 lockdown and is the only state with negative population growth.
Census data also released yesterday showed that Australia’s total population has risen to more than 25 million, an increase of 8.6% since 2016.

The largest population growth was in the ACT, with the number of people living in the area increasing by 14.4 per cent.
Queensland and Tasmania's population growth is between 9% and 10%, while New South Wales's population growth is 7.9%.
The Northern Territory had the smallest population growth at 1.6%.
Overall, almost 80% of Australian residents are concentrated on the east coast.
Nationally, Queensland's population growth continues to be the strongest in Australia, as more people move north and New South Wales and Victoria have almost stagnated.
Finally,
Queensland has attracted many Australians to move in because of its good performance during the epidemic and its superior livable conditions.
As Queensland’s population enters a stage of rapid growth, I believe the future prospects will be even better!
