The Death Registration Statements contains the details prescribed by Regulation, including but not limited to: demographic details such as name at birth, Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander status, sex, occupation, date and place of birth; age at death; date of death; place of death; cause of death; marital status. The registration of a death requires a death registration statement and either a medical report or coroner's report.
The Register includes all deaths that occur in Western Australia. Stillbirths or deaths in utero that occur after 20 weeks gestation or at greater than 400 grams are recorded in the Births and Deaths Register.
Please refer to data dictionary for known data quality issues of individual data items. The cause of death text field is only provided where the coded COD URF is requested.
This dataset is linked routinely. The time lag for finalised linked data available for researchers is approximately 1 month.
