I have found a more recent chart since my original post of a few days ago which was updated in April 2013 and is supplied by the Parliamentary Library.
This total of asylum seekers now adds up to 48856.
It is a little ambiguous (to me at least) because they only mention to end 2012 but say it was updated in April 2013 so I take it that those figures are only up to end of December, 2012.
All those who have arrived since then must be added on as well.
The figures on the right below are the numbers of refugees. The figure on the left is the number of boats (Number of boats shown after 1989).
The figures: Boat arrivals in Australia since 1976
