This data is disaggregated by SA4/LGA/greater capital city aggregations, state, year, month, sex, age group and ICD10 code for 2000–2019.
Deaths are counted according to death occurrence, note that some deaths are not registered in the same year that it occurred particularly in November and December (e.g. due to late registration or coronial investigation). Hence, deaths in 2019 are underestimated.
Deaths registered in 2017 and earlier are based on the final version of cause of death data; deaths registered in 2018 are based on the revised version; deaths registered in 2019 are based on the preliminary version. Revised and preliminary versions are subject to further revision by the ABS.
