| Abstract |
Tropical climates, expansive coastlines and an abundance of fresh waterways, all make the Northern Territory (NT) an extremely popular place for recreational water activities. Despite concerted efforts to promote general water safety and warn against the dangers of jellyfish and crocodiles, preventable water-related injury presentations to health services are not uncommon in the NT.
To further inform and support water safety efforts, this fact sheet reports a descriptive analysis of all water-related injury cases that presented to a NT Government tertiary (public hospital) or primary health care service (community clinics) in 2023.
