About us

**The Coroners Court is responsible for**:

- 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

- Tracking investigations through the criminal and (where relevant) coronial process and assessing whether the death meets the criteria of the VSRFVD.
- Reviewing case file material to undertake detailed coding of information about homicides investigated by Coroners, collating data, and preparing reports.
