Australian life expectancy at birth improved during the decade 1997 to 2007. A boy born in 2007 could expect to live to be 79, while a girl could expect to reach 84 - increases of three years for both. Women tend to live longer than men, and this is reflected in the differences in life expectancy throughout the 20th century. Although a girl born in 2007 could still expect to live longer than a boy, in recent years life expectancy at birth has increased slightly more quickly for boys than for girls.

While Australians are living longer than ever before and continued improvements in life expectancy are anticipated, there is a good deal of debate about the extent of any further increases. However, there is no doubt that there is more room for improvement among some groups of the population compared to others. In particular, life expectancy for Indigenous Australians, both male and female, is considerably shorter than that of all Australians, ( Australian Bureau of Statistics)
