    Projected population by series

    Note: * The population projection series are influenced by different assumptions related to fertility, life expectancy for males and females at birth, net overseas migration, and net interstate migration. The "high" series typically incorporates higher values for these components, such as increased life expectancy and fertility rates. However, it is important to note that the "high" and "low" series do not correspond directly to the maximum or minimum possible population outcomes. For instance, in the case of South Australia, the "high" series assumes the most substantial negative interstate migration (since South Australia typically experiences negative interstate migration). For the assumptions underlying each series, refer to the .
