Break-ins at Australian homes have increased for the first time in a decade, but the rate is still lower than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic, new data shows.<\/p>\n

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) estimates that 2 per cent of Australian\u00a0households \u2014 or 194,100 homes \u2014 experienced\u00a0a break-in during the last financial year.<\/p>\n

That’s an increase from 1.7 per cent in the 2020-21 financial year, which was\u00a0the lowest recorded rate,\u00a0ABS head of crime and justice statistics William\u00a0Milne said.<\/p>\n

Back then, it was estimated that\u00a0171,600 households had been broken into across the nation as we grappled with the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

“[This] coincided with sustained periods of lockdowns and COVID-19 restrictions across Australia,” he said.<\/p>\n

However, despite the jump in the break-in rate between 2020-21 and 2021-22, ABS data shows the victimisation rate is still lower than pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n

Back in 2018-19, the rate was 2.4 per cent.<\/p>\n

And in 2008-09, when the data was first collected, it was 3.3 per cent.<\/p>\n

This week’s\u00a0report also found that the prevalence of all other household and personal crimes collected in the survey remained stable between 2020-21 and 2021-22.<\/p>\n
