Abstract
| The Royal Life Saving National Drowning Report 2019 provides an analysis of fatal drowning across Australia between 1 July 2018 and 30 June 2019. This analysis is designed to help water safety organisations, community members, and those who manage water spaces reduce the risk of drowning. Data was collated from the National Coronial Information System (NCIS), State and Territory Coronial offices, lifesaving organisations, and year-round media monitoring. There were 276 drowning deaths in the one-year study period; detailed analysis presents fatal drowning by age, sex, location of drowning, activity prior to submersion, State / Territory and other variables. |
