Résumé :
The number of Australians who die from drug overdose each year continues its long-term rise, with 37,000 drug-induced deaths since 2001. Australia's Annual Overdose Report 2023 presents a wide range of detailed data on these deaths, with a focus on unintentional drug-induced deaths.1 As there are far more non-fatal than fatal drug overdoses in Australia every year, this report also presents a snapshot of non-fatal drug- and alcohol-related harm (including non-fatal overdose).
There were 2,231 drug-induced deaths reported in Australia in 2021, representing 66,792 years of life lost, with an average of 32 years of life lost per death. Of these deaths, 1,675 were unintentional. The annual number of unintentional drug-induced deaths surpassed the road toll in 2014; the gap between the two has continued to widen ever since. The increase in the number of unintentional drug-induced deaths has also surpassed population growth. Since 2001, the national population of Australia has increased by 32.9% while the number of unintentional drug-induced deaths has grown by 70.7%. [Extract]
