Australia's unemployment rate rose to 4.1 percent in January from 4 percent in December, in line with expectations from economists.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, employment increased by 44,000 last month, with full time positions increasing and part time roles dropping.
Australian correspondent Murray Olds says the Reserve Bank is largely hoping the unemployment rate keeps growing - so they can bring rates down further.
