Supplementary notes

*Deaths registered in 2020 and 2021 are based on preliminary data and are subject to revision.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), drug-induced deaths are defined as those that can be directly attributable to drug use and includes both those due to acute toxicity (for example, drug overdose) and chronic use (for example, drug-induced cardiac conditions) as determined by toxicology and pathology reports. This classification excludes death solely attributable to alcohol and tobacco.
