General Record of Incidence of Mortality (GRIM) books

aihw/grim-mortalityby Australian Institute of Health and Welfare www.aihw.gov.au(the publisher’s site)Catalogue only

Country or region: Australia

Deaths registered in Australia in each year from 1907 to 2024, from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare's GRIM books: national counts and rates by cause of death (all causes combined and 55 groupings of ICD-10 codes), sex and five-year age group. One row per cause, year of registration (period, given as the year's first day, so 2024-01-01 is 2024), sex (Males, Females, Persons) and age group (0–4 to 85+, Missing and Total), with the number of deaths, the crude death rate per 100,000 people and, on Total rows, the age-standardised death rate. Rows overlap, so do not add them up: Persons is Males plus Females, Total is all ages, and a chapter such as all neoplasms (GRIM0200) includes the specific groupings within it, such as lung cancer (GRIM0225). Deaths are null where the AIHW gives no count: a cause before its data begin, the other sex for a sex-specific cause, or the Missing age group in a few years for females, where Total shows there were none. The counts are national only, with no state, territory or smaller area. Deaths registered in 2022 are revised figures and those registered in 2023 and 2024 preliminary, and the ABS may still revise both.
