Drowning Reports

The Royal Life Saving Society Western Australia has been collecting drowning death statistics and information from the WA Coroner’s Office since 2000 to better understand who, how and why people drown in Western Australia.

An annual drowning report is produced each year, providing a profile of drowning in Western Australian and help direct water safety and drowning prevention initiatives in the community.
