METHODOLOGY All data is taken from Facebook the company, who state it is the number of people who have seen an ad in the last 30 days. They include Instagram (stories only) but it’s a close and realistic number. Also the Facebook data engineers say 28 days, so be aware of a small discrepancy on period of time. I added in New Zealand, as any day now… 😛
The population of Australia is 25 million but actual monthly Facebook users in Australia is 18 million. I’ve reported gender as Facebook sees it. No doubt Facebook will address how they identify gender at some future date… hopefully!

What percentage of the Australian population use Facebook? 72% of Australians! and remember this does not include under 13 year olds (Telecoms regulation) and infirm etc.

This data is current as of September 2019.
