Registration details are received electronically or entered manually by Births, Deaths and Marriages staff.
The Register includes an entry relating to any person whose death may be registerable in South Australia. Deaths in utero that occur after 20 weeks gestation or at greater than 400 grams are recorded in the Births Register. Stillbirths and fetal deaths are not recorded in the Deaths Register. Where there is sign of life at birth, but the neonate subsequently dies, the birth is recorded in the Births Register and the death is recorded in the Deaths Register.
