About the suicide data web tool

The suicide data web tool presents data on:

  • confirmed suicides reported by Health NZ
  • suspected self-inflicted deaths reported by the Chief Coroner.

Numbers and rates of suicide deaths are presented by:

  • year
  • ethnicity
  • sex
  • age group
  • district of residence of the deceased.

Suicide mortality information presented is provisional and so differs slightly from the final data in the corresponding mortality collection.

Admissions to hospital for intentional self-harm are sourced from the New Zealand National Minimum Dataset.
