National Coronial Information System
This is a national repository containing data on deaths reported to a coroner in Australia and New Zealand. It contains demographic information on reportable deaths, contextual details on the circumstances of the fatality and searchable reports. It can provide media outlets with:

• Non-identifying statistics on certain types of death. For example, opioid-related deaths or deaths due to intentional self-harm
• Non-identifying summaries of cases and any associated coronial recommendations
• National data for Australia and New Zealand, as well as data for specific jurisdictions.

The Mental Health Commission does not collate statistics for deaths by suicide in Western Australia. Any queries relating to this should be directed to the Office of the State Coroner.
