From 2006-2008, one in 42 people said yes, or an average 2.4% of Australians. That number rose to one in 32, or 3.1% from 2009-2011.
Between 2012-2014, 3.4% of people said they identified as gay, bringing the number to one in every 29.
Numbers were not provided on how many people identify as bisexual.
While the number of people identifying as gay has risen across all age groups, the increase is greater among young people.

The average number of people aged 14-19 who identified as gay increased from 2.9% in 2006-2008 to 4.6% in 2012-2014.
People in their twenties also saw a dramatic increase of the number of gay people, going from 4.4% to 6.5%, or one in every fifteen.
However, for people aged 50 and over, the increase was much smaller, going from 1.3% in 2006-2008 to 1.7% in 2012-2014.
