The best apolitical source for your request is the ABS, it's not controlled by any political party or State and just works as a bureaucracy to collect the data. The screen grab of the data as linked from Oct 2022 is below.
The only qualification I would put on it is that some in the RACGP question the usefulness because in Australia there is no Federal standard, the States have different rules and regulations about the the way records are created and maintained. Some in the RACGP claim certain locations under-report, some have different definitions of "death from COVID" versus "death with COVID", etc., etc., the under-reporting allegation seems mostly motivated by economic reasons, in much the same way it has been shown that India's "extraordinary COVID success" turned out to be completely bogus, India's commercial media is 100% run and controlled by the Indian Government, it didn't even report lockdowns that we now know were even harder than those we had here!

Keep in mind, the figures since Oct 2022 might be equally alarming, it looks like some demographics are being smashed by the new variant now that lockdowns are over. The media and politicians might have moved on, but the virus didn't!
Ok so from when the virus started to Oct 22 there has been a total of 10620 Australian deaths in a population of circa 25-26Mil
Therefore 1 out of every 2400 man women and child died from covid which includes the elderly and those with pre existing health issues.
If your under 30 its one in 370,000 - I WILL REPEAT THIS 1 DEATH IN EVERY 370,000 or
They tell us to trust the science i prefer to trust the statistics and those very statistics make me like many others suspicious about the handling of this pandemic. What were the deaths from mental health conditions during that same period in under 30s?
I respect your opinions LP and obviously on this one we see things differently. I'm not denying Covid exists and agree as the stats back it up that in the elderly age group and those with pre existing conditions it can be a serious issue but I can also see the other side and why there is so much doubt in the community as those not in those age groups the virus is generally not much more then the flu.
Closing playgrounds, closing schools, forcing majority of the workforce to be vaccinated or lose their job, yet judges were exempt, 10Km radius, not allowed to go for a walk in a park or on the footpath, cant go fishing in a bay or ocean or play golf
I don't believe in conspiracy theories or wear a foil hat like all those with a opposing opinion on this are branded but i also don't blindly follow the governments 'follow the science' line either as the stats don't support their reaction to it.
There was a lot more to this then the average punter will ever know IMO
