The website found at http://www.taronga.org.au/tcsa/conservation-programs/australian-shark-attack-file/general-information.aspx says, "Worldwide estimates state that 30 to 100 people a year are attacked (by sharks). Analysis of over 1000 case histories world wide, from the International Shark Attack File suggests an average of 30% (of attacks) are fatal. This is consistent with Australian figures of 28% fatal."
There are statistics re reported shark/human interactions for over 218 years (as of 2/7/2010). There hasn't been a fatality due to shark attack in Australian waters since 2008.
