WA Drowning Reports
Every year, Royal Life Saving WA produces a WA Drowning Report. This report highlights key trends, risk factors, and prevention priorities to help keep our communities safe.

Each year, the WA Drowning Report provides a comprehensive overview of drowning incidents across Western Australia. Drawing on the latest data and research, the report highlights key trends, risk factors, and priority areas for prevention.

The report serves as an essential resource for policymakers, aquatic industry professionals, educators, and community leaders working to reduce drowning and promote water safety.

The 2024 WA Drowning Report presents an overview of unintentional drowning trends in Western Australia between July 2023 and June 2024. By translating these findings into practical strategies, Royal Life Saving WA works to deepen understanding of drowning and its impacts, drive the development of evidence-based and innovative prevention initiatives, and empower communities to adopt safer behaviours in, on, and around water.
