This report describes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mortality for 1997-2000, with comparisons to non-Indigenous mortality for the same period. Data is presented for two reporting regions, with jurisdictions grouped according to completeness of death and population data. Total external causes and major selected external causes are reported by age, sex, Indigenous status, and remoteness of place of usual residence. Overall, injury death rates were higher for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and rates were generally higher for residents of remote areas.

The report is available as a PDF document (~ 1025 Kb).
