According to data published by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2020, the average life expectancy in Australia is 83 years. Male life expectancy in Australia is 81.3 years, while female life expectancy is 84.8 years. Australia ranks 7th in the world for life expectancy. These statistics are based on the latest available data and are subject to change over time.

Life expectancy for Australia is an important factor for life insurance companies when determining the premium rates for their policies issued to Australian residents. A person's life expectancy plays a role in calculating the risk level associated with insuring them, as the longer a person is expected to live, the more likely they are to make a claim on their policy. As a result, life insurance premiums are typically lower for individuals with a higher life expectancy and higher for those with a shorter life expectancy. By understanding the average life expectancy in Australia, life insurance companies can better evaluate the risk associated with offering coverage to residents of Australia and adjust their premiums accordingly. Australia is classed as an 'A' risk rated country by many international life insurers meaning it is deemed a high life expectancy country.
