Gold rushes occurred in all of Australia's states, and the Northern Territory as well, while in some states, goldrushes occurred in different towns and areas. Therefore, it is difficult to put a figure on how many gold rushes there were.
Only counting the really major ones, there were 3 gold rushes in Australia, 1 in New Zealand, 7 in the US, Canada and Alaska, 1 in South Africa and 1 in South America. Counting also the "notable" gold rushes, Wikipedia sets the number at 56. Gold rushes have however existed since the beginning of history so if we knew them all their number would be in the hundreds at least.
There have been gold rushes in several parts of the world, notably California, Australia, Yukon, South Africa.
Australia's main goldrush occurred in 1851. Other goldrushes followed in other states later on.
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants came to Australia for the goldrushes in the mid 1800s. At the beginning of the goldrush, in 1851, Australia's population was about 430,000. Twenty years later, in 1871, the population had trebled to 1.7 million. This was an increase of 1.27 million.

Early governors of the colonies were reluctant to encourage the finding of gold because they feared it would lead to social disruption, such as mass migration and conflict over ownership of the gold. They also wanted to prioritize other economic activities like agriculture and trade that were more sustainable in the long term. Additionally, they were concerned that a focus on gold would divert resources away from developing the colony as a whole.
