## Next release

The next Australia Unemployment Rate release is scheduled for Sep 24, 2026 at 11:30 Australia/Sydney. This page updates with the official value the moment the announcement is published.

Australia Unemployment Rate printed 4.5% in July 2026, a change of 0.1 percentage points from 4.4%. The value sits above the previous reading, so the important market question is whether it confirms the prevailing trend or forces a reassessment of AUD macro pricing.
