Australia's population increased by 345,500 from the end of September 2009 to the end of the same month last year.

This is according to a new preliminary estimated resident population (ERP) report from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

The report reveals that the population had increased by 78,800 from June 30th 2010 to the end of September that year.

Some 185,800 of the new people recorded in the country for the year ended September 30th 2010 were migrants.

The state that experienced the highest amount of growth was New South Wales (NSW), followed by Victoria.

NSW's population at the end of the September quarter was 7.25 million and that of Victoria was 5.57 million.

Back in January, the department of immigration and citizenship's Settler Arrivals publication showed that 140,610 people arrived in Australia in 2009/10 seeking to settle in the country.

The majority of these migrants were from New Zealand, China, India and the UK.
