The total population of Australia is just over 23,000,000. Indigenous peoples make up about 1% of the population, so that would be about 200,000, according to the World Almanac and Book of Facts 2007. Wikipedia puts the estimate at 2.5% for the indigenous peoples of the mainland plus the inhabitants of the Torres Islands. You may have to do a little more digging to find a more exact demographic.
Also see the Web Link 'Australian Bureau of Statistics - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Population'.
