Key Takeaways
Australia’s mortality rate decreased markedly from 7.6 in 1990 to 3.2 in 2022, showcasing its world-class healthcare system. By 2000, the rate had dropped to 5.1, attributed to widespread access to primary care and health promotion initiatives focusing on immunization and chronic disease management.

Between 2000 and 2022, the mortality rate plateaued at 3.2, indicative of a mature healthcare system with low preventable deaths. Improvements in elder care and advanced medical technologies supported these gains. However, challenges remain, including addressing healthcare accessibility in remote Indigenous communities, where health outcomes lag behind national averages.
