This report looks at the death and serious injury of Indigenous persons in Australia due to transport accidents in the five-year period 1999-00 to 2003-04. It focuses on the four jurisdictions of the Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland and examines variables such as mode of transport, gender, age group and remoteness from an urban centre.

The report is available as a PDF document (~ 1056 Kb).

Notes and corrections:

Note: The sections 'Remoteness zones' and 'Remoteness zones by injured person's vehicle and Indigenous status' have been revised due to errors in the calculation of rates. The opportunity was taken to make some changes to the text, mainly for clarity. The main findings remain unchanged. The previous version of the report is available here
