1. The ABS does not know the precise number of coroner-referred deaths outstanding (i.e. not yet registered and reported to ABS) as of 31 October 2021. The ABS typically receives information for about 80% of coroner-referred deaths within two months of the deaths.
2. The ABS publishes information on all coroner-referred deaths for a calendar year in Causes of Death, Australia (https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/health/causes-death/causesdeath-australia/2020). The ABS usually releases this report nine months after the end of the reference period.
