The infant mortality rate in Australia, for children under the age of one year old, was 111 deaths per thousand births in 1870. This means that for all babies born in 1870, over eleven percent did not survive past their first birthday. Over the course of the next 150 years, this number has dropped significantly, reaching its lowest point ever in 2020 to three deaths per thousand births.
