- Child death reports and data
We are responsible for a number of functions relating to child deaths in Queensland, including:
- maintaining a register of all child deaths in Queensland based on notifications from the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages and details of all child deaths reported to the Office of the State Coroner
- researching the risk factors associated with child deaths and making recommendations to prevent such deaths occurring, and
- preparing an Annual Report on child deaths.

The Annual Report: Deaths of children and young people, Queensland, 2021-22 was tabled on 8 December, 2022. The authorised electronic version of the annual report can be accessed on the Queensland Parliament website in the online tabled papers.
