In Australia, the age-standardized suicide rate in very remote areas in 2022 was 24.3 per 100,000 people. This was over double the rate found in major cities, which had an age-standardized suicide rate of 10.5 per 100,000 people.
Age-standardized suicide rate in Australia from 2012 and 2022, by remoteness area
(per 100,000 people)
To calculate age-standardized rates, age-specific rates (grouped in 5-year intervals) were multiplied against a standard population. Directly age-standardized rates were adjusted using the current Australian standard population (that is, the non-recast Australian estimated resident population (ERP) as at 30 June 2001)
Remoteness Areas divide Australia into 5 classes of remoteness on the basis of a measure of relative access to services.
