As of April 13, 2024, the Coronavirus Tracker is no longer updated due to the infeasibility of providing statistically valid global totals, as most countries have stopped reporting. Historical data is still available, and according to one source, there have been over 12 million Coronavirus cases in Australia. As of August 25, 2023, the World Health Organization declared that it is no longer necessary for member states to report daily counts of cases and deaths, instead requesting the strengthening of weekly reporting.

Total number of COVID-19 cases in Australia
As of April 13, 2024, the Coronavirus Tracker is no longer updated due to the infeasibility of providing statistically valid global totals as most countries have stopped reporting. The total number of COVID-19 cases in Australia is approximately 12,230,043. However, this number may not be entirely accurate as countries differ in how they choose to report statistics. Some countries provide data attributed to specific dates, while others group data from 7 days into a single statistic for weekly reporting.
The Coronavirus Tracker was switched from live to daily updates on February 1, 2023, as several major countries transitioned to weekly updates. The tracker started on January 29, 2020, and provided accurate and timely global statistics when it was extremely challenging to do so.
As of April 13, 2024, the closed cases in Australia were approximately 11,844,428, with 11,820,014 (99.8%) recoveries and 24,414 (0.2%) deaths. The active cases were at 8,716, with 8,713 (100%) in mild condition and 3 (0%) in a serious or critical condition.
It is worth noting that the data is subject to continuous verification and may change based on retrospective updates and changes in country case definitions and reporting practices.

Currently infected patients
As of April 2025, there have been a total of 49,233 notifications of COVID-19 reported to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) in Australia for the year. This data, however, may underestimate COVID-19 activity as many people with COVID-19 in the community do not get tested, and there may be delays in reporting confirmed cases.
In the week ending March 18, 2025, there were 374 PCR-confirmed cases, with a 7-day average of 49 people in the hospital, down from 63 the week before. Of the currently infected patients, 8,713 (100%) are in a mild condition, and 3 (0%) are in a serious or critical condition.
It is important to note that the number of cases is likely higher, as six jurisdictions have stopped collecting self-administered Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) results since 2023, and there may be underreporting of cases in the community.
The majority of variants identified in Australia are XEC and KP.3 sublineages. The Worldometer, which used to provide COVID-19 statistics for Australia, stopped updating after April 13, 2024, due to the majority of countries ceasing reporting.

Serious or critical cases
As of April 13, 2024, there are 3 patients in Australia who are in a serious or critical condition with COVID-19. This accounts for 0.0% of currently infected patients, of which there are 8,716.
While the vast majority of currently infected patients are in a mild condition, it is important to recognise that even mild cases of COVID-19 can result in long-term health complications. Additionally, the number of serious or critical cases may fluctuate over time, and previously, there have likely been higher numbers of patients in these categories.
The definition of a 'serious or critical case' may vary slightly between different healthcare contexts and countries. In general, however, a serious case typically indicates a patient who requires hospitalisation and supplemental oxygen therapy. A critical case, on the other hand, refers to a more severe condition where the patient may require intensive care unit (ICU) support, ventilation, or specialised treatment for respiratory failure or multi-organ dysfunction.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of global collaboration and data sharing in responding to public health emergencies. While the Coronavirus Tracker is no longer being updated as of April 13, 2024, due to the majority of countries ceasing reporting, the historical data remains accessible and serves as a valuable resource for ongoing analysis and future pandemic preparedness.

Total COVID-19 deaths in Australia
As of April 13, 2024, the Coronavirus Tracker on Worldometer is no longer being updated due to the unfeasibility of providing statistically valid global totals, as most countries have stopped reporting. However, historical data is still available. According to Worldometer, the total number of COVID-19-related deaths in Australia was 24,414, with 11,820,014 cases which had an outcome. This means that 99.8% of the time, COVID-19 patients in Australia recovered or were discharged.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics provides provisional mortality statistics, with the latest data available from January to March 2025. In March 2025, there were 106 deaths due to COVID-19 that were certified by a doctor. This number is 58.4% lower than in 2024 (255 deaths) and 59.1% lower than in 2023 (259 deaths). Between January and March 2025, there were 475 COVID-19 deaths certified by a doctor, 50.2% fewer than in 2024 and 60.5% fewer than in 2023.
It is important to note that the actual death toll from COVID-19 is likely higher than the number of confirmed deaths due to limited testing and challenges in attributing the cause of death. The way COVID-19 deaths are determined and recorded may vary between countries, and reporting can vary significantly from day to day. Therefore, it is helpful to consider the seven-day rolling average of daily figures to understand the trend.
Excess mortality estimates up to December 2023 are available in published articles, and more detailed analysis of mortality from COVID-19, influenza, and RSV in Australia for 2023 and 2025 can be found in updated articles.

Total recovered/discharged patients
As of April 13, 2024, the Coronavirus Tracker is no longer updated in real-time due to the infeasibility of providing statistically valid global totals as most countries have stopped reporting COVID-19 data. However, historical data is still available.
According to historical data, as of April 13, 2024, there were 11,820,014 recovered or discharged patients out of a total of 11,844,428 closed cases in Australia. This means that 99.8% of the closed cases in Australia were recovered or discharged patients, while the remaining 0.2% resulted in death.
It is worth noting that these statistics represent cumulative counts since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and may not reflect the current situation. The data is also subject to continuous verification and may change based on retrospective updates and corrections.
The definition of "recovered" or "discharged" may vary across countries and over time. Some countries may define recovery based on clinical criteria, such as the resolution of symptoms, while others may use epidemiological criteria, such as a certain number of days since the onset of symptoms or a negative test result.
As of August 25, 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that it is no longer necessary for Member States to report daily counts of cases and deaths, instead requesting the strengthening of weekly reporting. This change in reporting frequency may impact the availability and granularity of data.
