List of Australian supercentenarians

This is an incomplete list of Australian supercentenarians, people from Australia who have attained an age of at least 110 years. The Gerontology Research Group (GRG), an organization that tracks supercentenarians and verifies age claims, has verified that 26 supercentenarians have come from Australia as of December 2014.[1] The oldest person ever from Australia was Christina Cock, who died in 2002, aged 114 years 148 days. As of January 2016, the GRG reports that there are no living supercentenarians in Australia, but the oldest unverified Australian person is Mary Whitehurst, age 110 years, 202 days. She was born in the United Kingdom.
