Social Media Statistics Australia – March 2016
Earlier this year we saw Facebook reach the important milestone of 15 million active Australian users.
Considering the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) now has Australia’s population at 24 million Australians – this means 62.5% of the total Australian population has a Facebook account.

Key Points to Note:
- Over March there was not much movement in user numbers. Facebook and the large networks remained relatively steady with no major increases.
- Small tier 2 and tier 3 social networks continue to lose users over time as they have trouble attracting returning users over the longer term.
