Individual Death Reports

The Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation draws your attention to the cultural sensitivity of issues and material in these individual death reports. The Council asks that, in accessing and using these reports, you be aware of this and of the sensitivities of the living relatives and friends of those whose deaths are recorded in these documents.

Readers of these materials should be aware that, in some indigenous communities, use of the name of a dead person may cause offense and distress. Any reader of these materials proposing to down load any portion of these individual death reports for any purpose should be aware of the sensitivities and seek advice on what culturally appropriate proceedures and safeguards need to be adopted in using this material.

A number of reports of individual deaths do not record the individual's name. In these instances, the Royal Commission ordered the suppression of the name of the deceased at the request of the individual's family and for cultural reasons.
