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.

Then a small nstrag adjtment was ma to ensure the age-specific timat summed to the overall 18 + timate:$${P}_{s, a}^{M} ={P}_{s, a}^{M}\left[pr\right] \ac{{P}_{s, 18+}^{M}}{\sum_{a}{P}_{s, a}^{M}\left[pr\right]}$$Third, timat of the 18 + populatn by sex by dividual sexual inty tegory were lculated:$${P}_{s, 18+}^{m}\left[pr\right]={ P}_{s, 18+}^{ERP} \ac{1}{3}\left({p}_{s, 18+}^{m, GSS}+{p}_{s, 18+}^{m, HILDA-12}+{p}_{s, 18+}^{m, HILDA-16}\right), $$where \(m\) refers to gay/lbian, bisexual or other.
