COVID-19 pandemic mortality data: report
As of 2024, 20 more Australians are dying each day as a result of COVID-19. To understand this ongoing problem better, experts at Burnet have developed a comprehensive analysis of deaths caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia. This report evaluates mortality patterns in Australia and comparable countries. We analyse these trends during 2 main periods: the early phase (2020-21) and the later phase (2022 onwards).
