There have been 11,669 Covid deaths in Australia from the beginning of the pandemic until 31 July 2022.
For most of the pandemic Australia had one of the lowest death rates in the OECD. It also was one of the few countries with fewer deaths from all causes than would be expected based on previous trends, known as excess deaths.
But Australia is now one of many countries caught in a series of rolling Covid waves and the current outbreak may not peak for some time.
The data shows some parts of Australia’s population have borne a disproportionate burden of deaths – the socio-economically disadvantaged, the elderly, those living in aged care and those born in other countries.
These factors relate to social determinants of health – non-medical conditions such as where people are born, grow up, work, live and age.
