In June 2026, Australia recorded 566,910 short-term visitor arrivals, a 9.2% decrease compared to June 2025. Total arrivals fell 3.7% year-on-year to 1,557,570. Short-term resident returns increased 0.4% to 917,500. Total departures rose 1.1% to 1,833,830. The data reflects international border crossings, not individual travelers, with figures rounded to the nearest 10. New Zealand was the top source country for visitors (17.5% of arrivals), while Indonesia accounted for 17.0% of resident returns. The report clarifies that overseas arrivals and departures (OAD) data differ from official migration statistics and should not be used interchangeably. Provisional estimates for June 2026 may be revised in future releases.
