The aim is to prent updated timat of the size of Atralia’s sexual mory adult populatn (gay, lbian, bisexual, and other sexual mory inti). No timate of this populatn is currently available om the Atralian Bure of Statistics, and very ltle is available om other sourc. We obtaed data on sexual mory inti om three data llectns of two natnal surveys of recent years. Combg averaged prevalence rat om the surveys wh official Estimated Rint Populatn data, we produce timat of Atralia’s sexual mory populatn for recent years. Acrdg to percentag averaged across the three survey datasets, 3.6% of mal and 3.4% of femal scribed themselv wh a mory sexual inty. When applied to Estimated Rint Populatns, this giv a sexual mory populatn at ag 18 + Atralia of 599,500 2011 and 651,800 2016. Populatn timat were also produced by sex and broad age group, revealg larger numbers and higher sexual mory percentag the younger age groups, and smaller numbers and percentag the olst age group. Separate populatn timat were also prepared for lbian, gay, bisexual, and other sexual mory inti.

For mal, the gay populatn was larger than the bisexual populatn (182, 100 and 77, 900 rpectively), while for femal the oppose was the se (104, 400 lbian and 137, 800 bisexual) 3 The timated sexual mory populatn of Atralia, 2011 and 2016Full size tableDiscsnThis paper has prented new timat of Atralia’s sexual mory populatn based on official Estimated Rint Populatns and reprentative surveys which llect rmatn on sexual inty.
