- 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.

- 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.
