  1. ^ Diagnosed in Australia; nationality and location of original infection may vary. Data sourced from state and federal governments; where there are inconsistencies, federal reporting takes precedence. Under National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System reporting requirements, cases are reported based on their Australian jurisdiction of residence rather than where they were detected.
  2. ^ Cumulative reported confirmed cases at time of update. Actual case numbers may be higher.
  3. ^ Active cases based on state definition of active. Does not necessarily equate to the total cases minus deaths and recoveries.
  4. ^ Cumulative hospitalisations. There are around 95,000 hospital beds in Australia (3.8 beds/1000 people).
  5. ^ NSW reporting two Queenslanders who died in NSW.
  6. ^ NSW total cases and recoveries include 189 historical cases in crew members on board a ship that were subsequently classified as Australian cases and included in NSW totals.

  8. ^ Federal and Tasmanian reporting differ by 2 fewer cases.

Cases

See also: Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Australia medical cases

The numbers of cases in the charts below referred to the number of cases at the end of each day (23:59 AEDT) until 4 April 2020. Since 5 April 2020, the federal government standardised the daily case number release time to 15:00 AEST which has been reflected in the data.[16]

This data has been compiled by recording the daily values from the infographic available under "Current Status" on the Australian Government's Department of Health website.[17] Under National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System reporting requirements, cases are reported based on their Australian jurisdiction of residence rather than where they were detected.

Cumulative cases

The following charts represent changes in net number of cases on a daily basis and is based on the number of cases reported in the Federal Government's daily reports. Template:COVID-19 pandemic in Australia/Cases charts

Daily confirmed cases

The following charts represent changes in net number of cases on a daily basis and is based on the number of cases reported in the Federal Government's daily reports. Template:COVID-19 pandemic in Australia/National Cases


Active cases

As of 1 October 2021, there were 21,472 estimated active cases of COVID-19 in Australia. A case is considered active if a person who was COVID-19 positive but has yet to be classified as recovered and has not died. The chart below tracks active cases since 5 April 2020, when the Federal Government began reporting nationwide recovery data. However, since 20 July 2020, the Federal Government began reporting official estimation of nationwide active cases and this has been reflected in the chart.[17]
