Table A1.2 presents the number of live births for Australia for selected years, 2001 to 2010. These data have been used in calculating infant death rates - the number of deaths of children under one year of age per 1,000 live births in the same period.

Perinatal Death Rate
For comparison and measuring purposes, perinatal deaths in this publication have also been expressed as rates. These rates are defined as follows:
- for fetal deaths and total perinatal deaths, the rates represent the number of deaths per 1,000 all births, which comprises live births and fetal deaths combined (where gestation is at least 20 weeks or birth weight is at least 400 grams).
- for neonatal deaths, the rates represent the number of deaths per 1,000 live births.
20 weeks gestation or 400 grams birth weight
The following tables contain births data used in calculating perinatal death rates. Tables A1.3 and A1.4 are used to calculate perinatal death rates based on the 20 weeks gestation or 400 grams birth weight definition for fetal deaths. In this publication, this definition has been applied to all 2001-2010 reference year data.
