This Act amends the Coroners Act 2003 and makes related amendments to the Guardianship and Administration Act 1993. The Act makes the following key changes:

  • relieves the obligation on the Coroner to investigate certain reportable deaths as ‘deaths in custody’;
  • introduces a certificate system to enable the Coroner to provide protection of privilege to witnesses against self-incrimination and penalty;
  • requires the Government to report to Parliament on actions taken in response to recommendations from the Coroner; and
  • provides family members with access to legal counsel during Coroner’s Court proceedings and access to records where no inquest is held.
