Recent reports
Homicide in Australia, 2022–23 (Australian Institute of Criminology)
- The National Homicide Monitoring Program is Australia’s only national data collection on homicide incidents, victims and offenders. Between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2023, there were 232 incidents of homicide, with 247 victims and 260 identified offenders.
- 90%, or 208 of the 232 homicide incidents were cleared at the time of reporting[1].
- During this period, there were 79 incidents of domestic homicide (34% of all homicide incidents), 64 incidents of acquaintance homicide (28%) and 34 incidents of stranger homicide (15%).
- Of domestic homicides, 38 incidents were intimate partner homicide, with 34 (89%) of these incidents perpetrated against a female victim.
Victims
- The homicide victimisation rate in 2022–23 was 0.93 per 100,000, a slight increase when compared to 2021–22 (0.90 per 100,000). However, it is the third lowest victimisation rate recorded since 1989–90, with the victimisation rate declining overall by 52% since 1989–90.
- On average, one woman is killed every 11 days and one man is killed every 91 days (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW)).
- Male homicide victims were most likely to be killed by a friend, an acquaintance or some other known person who was not a family member (39%). In comparison, almost half of female homicide victims (49%) were killed by a current or former intimate partner, with a further 17% killed by another family member.
- Of the 84 domestic homicide victims in 2022–23:
- 38 were killed by an intimate partner
- 46 were killed by a family member.
- There were 49 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander victims of homicide, comprising 20% of homicide victims in 2022–23.
Offenders
- Of the 260 homicide offenders, 68% perpetrated the homicide alone, an increase from 58% in the previous year. The remaining 32% committed the homicide with at least one co-offender.
- Males comprised the majority of offenders in 2022–23 (87% (225)).
- In 2022–23, most primary homicide offenders of cleared incidents were male (88%) and of these, 35% (64) committed a domestic homicide, most often against a current or former intimate partner. Over half of female primary offenders (58% (15)) also committed a domestic homicide.

From July 2022, the ABS has incorporated a new data source to measure the rents series in the quarterly CPI and monthly CPI indicator. The new dataset is updated monthly and includes over 600,000 private rental properties across both regional and capital city areas…
Capital city rental inflation has outpaced regional areas from March 2023 onwards. Rent price indices for capital city vs regional areas show that the overall increase in rents in capital cities since 2019 is still lower than the increase in regional rents over the same period.

Each month the Parliamentary Library publishes a Flagpost article listing new reports on a wide variety of topics. The list includes important upcoming ABS releases and reports from other research organisations and government departments.
[1] A homicide incident is defined as cleared when one or more offenders have been charged with a homicide offence, or the offender who would have been charged with a homicide offence died prior to arrest or the incident or was cleared by other means (such as legal intervention). Information on homicide offenders is only collected for offenders from cleared homicide incidents.
