Key numbers
Unless otherwise indicated, these statistics are for 30 April 2023. You can check for the latest statistics here.
The Department of Home Affairs (formerly the Department of Immigration and Border Protection) publishes on its website monthly and yearly statistics about people it detains. Its monthly statistics include the number of people in detention facilities in Australia, offshore processing centres, and in the community (either under a ‘residence determination’, or with a ‘bridging visa’.)
You can find the data or reuse the chart using the links under each graph. For graphs that do not display numbers, you can hover over the graph to display data.
