The death registration date may not be the same as the actual date of death.
Accurate cause of death information is important to the public health sector and medical researchers to evaluate and develop measures to improve the health of Australians generally. It is also important to family members, now and for the future, to know what caused a loved one's death and to be aware of conditions that may occur in other family members.
