The number one cause of death among Australians killed about 48 people every day in 2018, according to a report by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

According to the report, suicide was the leading cause of death among people 15 to 44 years of age, though it had moved from the 13th to the 14th spot within Australia's top 20 causes of death.

In response, the Prime Minister's National Suicide Prevention adviser, Christine Morgan, said in a statement:"This number represent our loved ones, who live in our diverse communities in each state and territory, rural and remote and in our suburban towns. Of the 1,123 opioid drug-related deaths, the most common were accidental overdoses among middle-aged men.
