Extracted in machine readable form from the AIHW Mortality Over Regions and Time (MORT) books.

MORT books are Excel workbooks that contain recent deaths data for specific geographical areas, sourced from the AIHW National Mortality Database. They present summary deaths statistics by sex for each geographic area, including counts, rates, median age at death, premature deaths, potential years of life lost and potentially avoidable deaths. The workbooks also present leading causes of death by sex for each geographic area.

The MORT books present data for 2015–2019. Due to changes in geographic classifications over time, long-term trends are not available.

For more information, please see Deaths data at AIHW or contact us at deaths@aihw.gov.au..

Also available on data.gov.au are the AIHW General Record of Incidence of Mortality (GRIM) data.
