Coronial findings 2015 - 2018
Pre-2015 findings
The Magistrates Court (Coronial Division) publishes a small but important amount of records of investigations and findings.
The decision to make these findings available has been made by the Chief Magistrate, or their delegate, or the coroner presiding over the particular investigation, under Coroners Rules 2006.
Publishing a finding is decided on an individual basis, but the coroner may take into account a number of factors:
the work of the courts being available to public scrutiny
the death prevention role of the coroner
sensitivity of the findings
possible harm from making an investigation publically available
In general, authorised findings for publication will include:
all public inquest findings
long-term missing persons cases
homicides after the criminal process has been completed
any other death which has been reasonably widely reported in the news media for clarification of the factual findings
any death where health and safety recommendations can result in improvements and death prevention (for example, child protection systems issues, deaths in medical settings with recommendations for improvement)
any other matter which the coroner believes is in the public interest
Specific findings can be located by entering information in the search box below. Please enter a keyword, name or year of the coronial finding you are looking for.
If you are unable to locate the findings you are looking for, please contact the Coroners’ Office.
Please consider that it may be upsetting to read details about a death in an inquest finding.
