About us

- 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. CCOV regularly reports on data and trends regarding preventable deaths in Victoria to help inform public health responses.
About the role
The purpose of the Koori Family Engagement Officer is to provide assistance when coronial investigations involve an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander deceased person.
