There is an excellent website containing a wealth of beautifully presented data on Covid and other matters called Our World in Data. Have a play with their graphic displays, that allow comparison of your choice of countries on a range of measures of Covid's impact, such as case numbers, hospitalizations, deaths, and vaccinations. The data is very up to date, typically only a few days old

The table linked below looks at  the change in excess deaths in the period from 5 January 2020 to 31 Jan 2022 for most countries in the world i.e. the entire pandemic period, with the percentage change tabulated in the last column (positive for an increase, negative for a decline).

The value for Australia (it is updated daily) at the time of writing is -7.734 %, a significant decrease, presumably accounted for by significant drops in other infectious diseases such as seasonal flu outweighing the Covid increase.  This is definitely one of the better results—compare with the US and the major European countries). This presumably will change as the full impact of the Omicron spike is fully reflected in deaths.
