This table is compiled by the date on which the death occurred.
These data are considered to be provisional and subject to change as additional data is received.

Age-standardised death rates (SDRs) enable the comparison of death rates between populations with different age structures. The SDRs in this table are presented on a per 100,000 population basis,
using quarterly population estimates published in 'National, state and territory population, September 2020', released on 18 March, 2021. See 'Revision status' in the Methodology section of the 18
March, 2021 release for details of the status of quarterly estimated resident population (ERP) used for calculating rates. The quarters used for calculating monthly rates for the relevant year are as
follows: Jan-Mar (March Qtr ERP); Apr-June (June Qtr ERP); July-Sept (Sept. Qtr ERP) and; Oct-Dec (Dec. Qtr ERP). See the 'Age-standardised death rates (SDRs) and population data' section in
the Methodology of this publication for further details.

Some rates are unreliable due to small numbers of deaths over the reference period. This can result in greater volatility of rates. As such, age-standardised death rates based on a death count of
fewer than 20 have not been published, and appear as 'np'. See the methodology of this publication for further information.

Mortality rates derived from administrative data counts may be subject to natural random variation, especially for small counts. Confidence intervals (CIs) for an SDR can help quantify this variability.
CIs included in this table indicate a 95% probability that the 'true' SDR is contained within the lower and upper limits of the CI. CIs have been calculated using the standard method and formulas can be
sourced from Breslow and Day (1987) in the 'Statistical methods in cancer research' publication. Further information on the calculation of CIs can also be found on the METeOR website (see National
Indigenous Reform Agreement: PI 08 - Tobacco smoking during pregnancy, 2016).
Refer to the methodology of this publication for more information regarding the data in this table.
