Thirty-three Australians were confirmed dead on Wednesday by Australian authorities following the weekend's deadly bomb blasts in Bali while another 140 were still missing.

An estimated 181 people were killed and more than 300 injured on Saturday when explosions ripped through nightclubs packed with foreign tourists in Kuta Beach on the Indonesian resort island.

"Thirty Australians have now been reported to us as dead by the Indonesian authorities," a spokeswoman from Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade told Reuters.

A further three Australians have died from serious injuries suffered in the bombing, according to hospital officials.

One died during an evacuation flight back to Australia and two others died after reaching intensive care units in hospitals in Darwin and Perth.

The DFAT spokeswoman said 113 Australians were seriously injured in the bombing and all of these had now been flown home, with no Australians remaining in hospitals in Bali.
