Deaths registered per month

The law requires doctors and funeral directors to notify the Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages Victoria (BDM) of deaths.\r\nIn the case of a reportable death, the Coroner must notify BDM as soon as practicable after being notified by the doctor.\r\nDeaths are counted in the month we register them. The deaths may not have occurred in that same month.\r\n\r\nWider data sets are available for purchase. We can extract data with certain criteria, such as a date range.
