According to Australia's Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (see the related link below), there are currently 227 described species of amphibians in Australia.

Not one of them is a toad, as Australia has no true native toads. Nor does it have salamanders, newts or axolotls. Amphibians of Australia are limited to members of the order Anura, commonly known as frogs. All Australian frogs are in the suborder Neobatrachia, also known as the modern frogs, which make up the largest proportion of extant frog species.
