Data provenance and coverage

Official government sources

The dashboard uses or references crime data published by Australian government police and crime-statistics agencies. Jurisdictions use different offence definitions, geographic boundaries, reporting periods, and revision processes, so their figures are not always directly comparable.

Important information

Government agencies may revise their published data without notice. This dashboard is informational only and is not an authoritative source of truth, personal safety assessment, legal advice, or substitute for the original publications.

Use the links below to confirm current figures, definitions, limitations, and reporting periods directly with the publishing agency.

TAS

Tasmania

Dashboard coverage: Official statewide annual supplement totals are imported for 2023-24 and 2024-25. Tasmania is not included in suburb rankings because the official annual crime statistics supplement is statewide. District and division figures appear in performance reporting, but that report is not presented as the official crime-statistics source.

WA

Western Australia

Dashboard coverage: Official state, region, and district data is imported. The downloadable WA Police workbook does not publish suburb rows, so WA district rankings are labelled separately and excluded from the combined suburb leaderboard.
