Media backgrounder - Sepsis in Australia: A growing burden but signs of progress
The Commission has released a landmark Sepsis Epidemiology Report, offering the most comprehensive national analysis to date of hospital-treated sepsis in Australia. Drawing on more than 900,000 hospitalisations from 2013–14 to 2022–23, the report confirms that sepsis is more widespread, deadly, and costly than previously understood, with over 84,000 sepsis hospitalisations in 2022–23 alone.
