Biennial report of the deaths of children in New South Wales: 2016 and 2017 - Incorporating reviewable deaths of children

This report concerns 981 children aged from birth to 17 years who died in NSW in 2016 and 2017. It also considers how child mortality has changed over time in this state. This the first biennial report produced by the Child Death Review Team, following 20 years of reporting to Parliament each year. It is also the first time that we have combined the Team’s report with specific responsibility for ‘reviewable’ deaths of children.
