The unemployment rate in Australia came in at a seasonally adjusted 5.7 percent in May, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday.
That was in line with expectations and unchanged from the previous month.
The Australian economy added 17,900 jobs last month - beating forecasts for 15,000 following the downwardly revised gain of 800 jobs in April (originally 10,600).
The participation rate came in at 64.8 percent - unchanged from the previous month but shy of expectations for 64.9 percent.
