About us

**The Coroners Court is responsible for**:

- Independently investigating deaths and fires. Certain deaths and fires are reported to the Coroners for independent investigation. Their investigations seek to establish the facts - when, where, how, and why the death or fire happened.
- Reducing preventable deaths. Wherever possible, the Coroner will suggest ways to prevent similar deaths or fires by making well informed and practical recommendations, based on the evidence before them.
- Promoting public health and safety and the administration of justice. The court regularly reports on data and trends regarding preventable deaths in Victoria to help inform public health responses.

About the role
The Coroners Prevention Unit (CPU) provides support to Coroners to fulfil their prevention mandate to improve public health and safety.
Within the CPU, the Family Violence team conducts in-depth reviews of family violence related deaths and formulates evidence-based reports to the Coroner with the aim of strengthening the system response to family violence, and to prevent future deaths.

- Conducting in-depth review of a range of materials to identify the need for, and nature of, further investigation by the Coroner.
- Drafting reports and providing advice in relation to suspected family violence related deaths.
- Preparing case summaries and compiling records to inform further investigation by relevant experts.

About you
We are looking for a dynamic leader with excellent communication skills and a commitment to public health and safety with:

- High-level knowledge and experience in the family violence response system.
- Demonstrated experience in research and analysis, with the ability to synthesize complex concepts into concise reports.
- Proven ability to manage complex caseloads.

How to apply

- A cover letter (not exceeding two pages) demonstrating attributes and experience relevant to the role (see the Key Selection criteria in the Position Description).
- A short response to the following question (in addition to the two pages above)
