Abstract

Official statistics on causes of death have long been the main basis for measuring and describing fatal injury in Australia. For decades, Registrars of Deaths from each state or territory have provided data to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) in electronic form. Protocols exist for obtaining additional information (e.g. visits to coroners' offices), to supplement data provided by the Registrars. Beginning with deaths registered in 1993, operations of the ABS vital statistics section have been centralised in the Brisbane offices.
