'The number of multiple births in Australia each year is small and has remained relatively stable at around 2-3% of all births (from 3.1% (9,288) of births in 2011 to 2.9% (8,529) of births in 2022).
In 2022, of this small proportion, almost all multiple births (98%) were twins, while the remaining 2% were other multiples (that is, triplets, quadruplets or higher).' - Australia's mothers and babies.
