Although Australia has a low population density and a relatively small population of about 22 million, most of the country is inhospitable desert, so most people tend to live in the small temperate areas along some of the coast. There is also not much water in Australia so much of the country is under water restrictions.
There is a school of thought that due to Australia's climate, the long term maximum sustainable population levels should revert to World War 2 levels of 9 to 10 million.

Why is Australia a sparsely populated country?
Australia is sparsely populated due to its harsh and arid environment, which makes large portions of the country uninhabitable. The majority of the population is concentrated in urban coastal areas, as the interior regions have limited access to water and are not conducive to large-scale settlement. Additionally, the country's vast size and remoteness from other populated regions contribute to its low population density.
