Key statistics

43,305 deaths occurred between January and March 2024, 1.5% more than 2023 but 4.0% fewer than 2022.
14,711 deaths occurred in March 2024, comparable to 2022 and 2023.
Excess mortality for 2023 was 5.1% (see article).
COVID-19 caused 259 deaths in March, down from 277 in February (see article).

Since April 2024 there have been changes in how provisional mortality data is presented. These changes have been outlined in previous publications. April 2024 was selected as the time frame to implement changes as it coincides with the beginning of the reporting period for deaths occurring in 2024. The format of these reports will take account of the following factors.

Deaths will no longer be compared to a "baseline average". The ABS now releases official Excess mortality estimates every six months. Estimates to December 2023 are included in this publication and can be accessed from the articles link. These estimates are modelled from a historical baseline accounting for age structure and population. With this report available, the baseline constructed from an average count of deaths which was previously included in the Provisional Mortality Report is no longer necessary. The latest excess mortality estimates are available in the article ‘Measuring Australia’s excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic until December 2023’, published on 28 June.
Mortality from influenza and respiratory syncytial virus is analysed alongside COVID-19. The Director-General of the World Health Organization called an end to the emergency phase of the pandemic in May 2023. In line with this, the information presented can be changed to reflect changing data needs. As the pandemic has progressed it is important to consider not only the impact of COVID-19 alone, but also that of other active acute respiratory infections. This additional information is included in the attached article: 'Deaths due to COVID-19, influenza and RSV in Australia - 2022 - May 2024'.

Previous year comparisons

Deaths for 2024 will have two comparisons points - they will be compared to deaths occurring in 2023 and 2022.

This publication does not provide official estimates of excess mortality. The ABS publishes official excess mortality estimates in the report ‘Measuring Australia’s excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic until December 2023’.

Age-standardised death rates can be accessed via the data downloads tab in this publication.

Counts of deaths for 2015-2023 are included in the historical data cubes of the data downloads section of this report. Customised datasets are able to be created from these data cubes.

Provisional mortality data

The ABS publishes two regular reports that provide preliminary information on mortality - Provisional Mortality Statistics and Deaths due to COVID-19, influenza and RSV in Australia. These reports provide information on different time periods and serve different purposes.

Provisional Mortality Statistics focus on monitoring patterns of mortality (by all-causes and specified leading causes of death) and highlight any changes potentially associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Data must be sufficiently complete to detect such changes, and as such these reports are only released once the majority of deaths that occurred in a particular period have been registered and reported.

Deaths due to COVID-19, influenza and RSV in Australia articles focus on all deaths registered and reported with COVID-19, influenza or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) written on the death certificate up until a specified time. These articles include important information about these acute respiratory infection certified deaths, including demographic details. While it is recognised data will be incomplete, it can still indicate emerging trends or changes among these deaths. The most recent article on deaths due to these selected acute respiratory disease, that occurred and were registered up until 31 May 2024 can be accessed through the articles link on this page.

Australian deaths by week

All-cause deaths

For all deaths:

In 2024, there were 43,305 deaths that occurred by 31 March and were registered by 31 May. This is 624 more deaths (1.5%) than the same period in 2023, and 1,811 (4.0%) fewer than in 2022.
14,711 deaths occurred in March 2024. This is 129 fewer deaths (0.9%) than March 2023, and 37 (0.3%) fewer than March 2022.
12,852 of the deaths occurring in March 2024 were doctor certified and 1,859 were coroner referred.
The age-standardised death rate (SDR) for March was 40.2 deaths per 100,000 people, below the rates for 2023 (41.9) and 2022 (42.8).

Deaths are presented by counts only. Counts of death do not account for changes in population. See data downloads for weekly and monthly age-standardised death rate calculations.

Age-specific death rates

The following table shows age-specific death rates (deaths per 100,000 population) for different age groups by sex in March 2024, presented with both those from 2023 and 2022.

March 2024

Across all age groups, death rates were lower for March in 2024 than in 2023 and 2022. The March 2024 death rate for those aged 75 to 84 years was 7.7% below the rate in March 2023 and 8.1% below the rate in March 2022. The March 2024 death rate for those aged under 45 was 10.8% lower than in March 2022.
For males, death rates for all age groups were lower for March in 2024 than both 2023 and 2022. The death rate for males aged 75 to 84 years was 7.4% lower in March 2024 than in 2023 and 8.5% lower than in 2022. The death rate for males aged 65 to 74 was 9.0% lower than in 2022.
For females, death rates for all age groups were lower for March in 2024 than both 2023 and 2022 with the exception of females aged under 45. The death rate for females aged under 45 years was 1.5% higher in 2024 than in 2023, but 16.5% lower in 2024 than in 2023.
For all age groups, the male death rate is higher than the female death rate, with the rate ratio being largest in the youngest age group and smallest in the oldest age group.

Year to date, January to March 2024

Across all age groups, death rates were lower in the year to March for 2024 than in 2023 and 2022, with the largest difference in the 75 to 84 age group (4.5% lower than 2023 and 11.7% lower than 2022).
For males, death rates for all age groups were lower in the year to March for 2024 than both 2023 and 2022 with the exception of males aged under 45 years (3.0% higher than in 2023) and those aged 65 to 74 years (0.1% higher than 2023). The largest difference was in the 75 to 84 age group (5.4% lower than in 2023 and 14.6% lower than in 2022).
For females, death rates for all age groups were lower in the year to March for 2024 than both 2023 and 2022 with the exception of females aged 45 to 64 years (0.1% higher than in 2023) and those aged 85 and over (0.6% higher than in 2023). The largest difference was for females aged under 45 years (9.7% lower than in 2023 and 11.3% lower than in 2022).

Mortality by selected causes of death

Cause-specific mortality

The following analysis is based only on doctor certified deaths (i.e. coroner referred deaths are not included). Any changes in patterns of coroner referral could affect counts of doctor certified deaths. Some conditions have higher coroner referral rates (ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases and to a lesser extent, respiratory diseases and diabetes) so counts for those conditions would be more likely to be affected by such changes.

COVID-19

In March 2024 there were 252 deaths due to COVID-19 that were certified by a doctor. This is comparable to the 259 deaths in March 2023 but lower than the 398 deaths in March 2022.
Between January and March 2024 there have been 949 deaths from COVID-19 certified by a doctor. This is 21.1% fewer than at the same point in 2023 and 68.1% fewer than in 2022.
As the pandemic has progressed the number of people dying 'with' COVID-19 has increased. In March 2024 there were 72 people who died with COVID-19 being identified (via death certificates) as a contributing factor to their death (ie. COVID-19 was certified on the death certificate but it was not the underlying cause of death).

Other causes of death

Deaths due to dementia in March 2024 were 6.6% more 2023 and 17.8% more than in 2022. The SDR for March 2024 was 3.7, higher than the rates for 2023 (3.6) and 2022 (3.4). Between January and March 2024 deaths due to dementia were 4.1% higher than in 2023 but 1.2% lower than in 2022.
Deaths due to respiratory diseases (excluding COVID-19) in March 2024 were comparable to 2023 but 10.7% higher than in 2022. Deaths from pneumonia were 39.4% higher in March for 2024 than in 2022. There were 18 deaths from influenza certified by a doctor in March 2024, compared to zero for this month in 2022. Between January and March 2024, deaths from respiratory diseases were 8.5% higher than in 2023 and 12.3% higher than in 2022 with deaths from influenza, pneumonia and chronic respiratory diseases all higher in 2024 than in 2022 or 2023.
Deaths due to ischaemic heart disease in March for 2024 were 13.3% below 2023 and 17.0% lower than 2022. Between January and March, deaths due to ischaemic heart disease were 6.2% lower than 2023 and 15.9% lower than 2022
Deaths due to other cardiac conditions in March for 2024 were 3.6% lower than both 2023 and 2022.
Deaths due to diabetes in March for 2024 were comparable to both 2023 and 2022. Between January and March, diabetes deaths were 7.4% lower than 2023 and 9.3% lower than 2022.

a. Only doctor certified deaths are included.
b. Data is by date of occurrence.

Timeliness and completeness of data

Each death registration in the national mortality dataset has 3 dates:

The date on which the death occurred.
The date on which the death was registered with the jurisdictional Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages (RBDM).
The date on which the death was lodged with the ABS.

When looking to measure change over time, the completeness of data for the most recent period is important. When data is received each month by the ABS, the lag between the date of death and the date of registration means that approximately 40-50% of reported registrations are of deaths that occurred in the month being reported. The remainder are deaths that occurred in earlier months.

In May 2024, the ABS received 16,167 death registrations. Of these, 16,048 deaths occurred in 2024, 104 occurred in 2023 and the remaining 15 occurred in 2022 or earlier years.

For deaths which are doctor certified, approximately 95% of registrations are received after a second month of reporting, while for coroner certified deaths, the proportion of registrations reported after a second month is lower (approximately 80%). This is because it takes longer for coroners to certify deaths due to the complexity of investigations.

As coroner referred deaths make up a smaller proportion of all deaths (approximately 11-14%) their inclusion in all-cause data only reduces the overall completeness by around 2%. This should be considered when making comparisons with historical counts, noting also that the level of completeness will be higher for the start of any given month than the end of that month.

This pattern of registration and reporting is highlighted in the table below, which also shows the slight variation in reporting timelines by cause of death.

Estimated completeness of death registrations received by the ABS (a)(b)(c)

a. Percentages are based on the date registrations were received by the ABS for deaths that occurred in 2019-2023.
b. Only doctor certified deaths are included for cause-specific data.
c. Data is provisional and subject to change.

The graphs below show how numbers of deaths for each period have increased over time as additional registrations that occurred in previous months are reported to the ABS. Due to these increases, data for the most recently reported periods should be treated with caution.
