About Us
The Coroners Court of Victoria (CCOV) has three functions.
1. Independently investigating deaths and fires.
Certain deaths and fires are reported to Coroners for independent investigation. Their investigations seek to establish the facts - when, where, how and why the death or fire happened.
2. 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.
3. 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.
