Each International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) chapter for underlying cause of death plus major causes of:
- Circulatory diseases (I00-I99)

- Conditions originating in the perinatal period (P00-P96)
- Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)

- Other causes
- All causes
Rates are directly age-standardised to the 2001 Australian population.
Variability bands are to be calculated for single-year rates using the method below.
Presented per 100,000 population. Rate ratio calculated for Indigenous:non-Indigenous.
Number of deaths
Total population
2007 (revised WA and national Indigenous deaths data), 2008 and 2009 (updated for revision to ABS cause of death data, revised WA and national Indigenous deaths data), 2010 (updated for revisions to ABS cause of death data) and 2011 — State and territory (total deaths).
2007 (revised WA and national Indigenous deaths data), 2008, 2009 (updated for revision to ABS cause of death data, revised WA and national Indigenous deaths data), and 2010 — State and territory, by ICD-10 chapter for underlying cause of death (and total).
2006-2010 — State and territory, by major cause of death (and total) by Indigenous status.
Some disaggregation may result in numbers too small for publication. Disaggregation by Indigenous status will be based on data only from jurisdictions for which the quality of Indigenous identification is considered acceptable—NSW, Qld, SA, WA and NT.
