Causes of Death, Australia, 2013

This Australian Bureau of Statistics publication contains statistics on causes of death for Australia, together with selected statistics on perinatal deaths.
Although there is variation across jurisdictions in what constitutes a death that is reportable to a coroner, they are generally reported in circumstances such as:
  • where the person died unexpectedly and the cause of death is unknown
  • where the person died in a violent or unnatural manner
  • where the person died during or as a result of an anaesthetic
  • where the person was 'held in care' or in custody immediately before they died
  • where the identity of the person who has died is unknown.
