The life expectancy for Australia in 2022 was 83.79 years, a 0.18% increase from 2021. The life expectancy for Australia in 2021 was 83.64 years, a 0.18% increase from 2020.
Male life expectancy at birth reached 81.2 years in 2018-2020, increasing from 80.9 in 2017-2019. Female life expectancy also increased to 85.3 years from 85.0 in the previous year. Life expectancy for males has improved at a faster rate than that for females.
Today, a 65 year old Australian male can expect to live another 20.3 years and a female another 23.0 years. This is longer than life expectancy at birth, as they have successfully made it through the first several decades of life.
Key findings 1 in 6 Australians are aged 65 and over (16%).
Women's life expectancy was 79 years in the U.S. in 2021, while men's was about 73, according to CDC data. The U.S. has a higher rate of avoidable deaths, which is measured as death before the age of 75, among men than any comparable country.
At the end of the study, about 16 percent of the men and about 34 percent of the women survived to the age of 90. In fact, the authors found that women who were taller than 5 feet 9 inches were 31 percent more likely to reach 90, compared to those who were under 5 feet 3 inches.
What is Premature Death? Early death, also called premature death, occurs earlier than the average age of death in a population. In the United States, that age is around 75 years old. A lot of illness can happen in the first 74 years of life, yet the majority of early deaths have just a handful of causes.
Total population aged 90 years and over
In 2020, population aged 90+ years for Australia was 203.28 thousand persons. Population aged 90+ years of Australia increased from 18.56 thousand persons in 1971 to 203.28 thousand persons in 2020 growing at an average annual rate of 5.13%.

The median 65 year old today male will live to be 87, according to the Society of Actuaries. And the average 65 year old woman live to be 89.
Consider the Average Life Expectancy
And if she makes it to age 70, her life expectancy increases to 87.6 years. A man the same age has an average life expectancy of 84.1 years.
The study, supported by the American Insurance Group, found that, on average, a 75-year-old American woman with no chronic conditions will live 17.3 additional years (that's to more than 92 years old).
Individuals should plan for living well beyond the average – to age 95 or even 100 – especially those in good health. For non-smokers in excellent health, there is almost one in three chance that women will live to age 95 or beyond and one in five chance that men will live to age 95 or beyond.
Life expectancy at birth was 81.3 years for males and 85.4 years for females in 2019-21.
Life expectancy at age 80 years for both sexes combined
In 2020, life expectancy at age 80 years for Australia was 9.87 years. Life expectancy at age 80 years of Australia increased from 6.64 years in 1975 to 9.87 years in 2020 growing at an average annual rate of 4.51%.

In the last 100 years, the life expectancy of Australians has increased by 20 years. Now Australia has 3700 people aged over 100. By 2050, Australia will have over 50,000 people aged 100 and over.
