See how the price of everything has changed with inflation

Annual inflation in Australia came in at 3.8% this week, easing expectations for an interest-rate hike in August, but still staying above the level the Reserve Bank of Australia and the federal government want. The report tracks price changes across categories, including rent, eggs, holidays and insurance. Electricity tops the list, with a large one-off increase attributed largely to the removal of government subsidies that had helped offset soaring power costs linked to the war in Ukraine. Automotive fuel has fallen as the federal government cut the fuel excise after oil prices surged due to the Iran war; that discount is set to expire on August 2. Data comes from the ABS June 2026 CPI release.
