Consumer Price Index (CPI)

Cost of Living Quarter Source ↗

Tracks the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Australia. The inflation rate is the year-over-year percentage change (e.g. 3.24 means prices rose 3.24% compared to the same quarter last year). The index is the absolute CPI level using 2011-12 as the base period (100), allowing long-term price comparisons.

Percentage Change

Change per government term — green = improvement, red = worsening
