Brief description Coroners investigate the cause and circumstances of reported death. Coroners may make recommendations in their findings following investigations into the cause and circumstances of deaths. Recommendations are often directed to governments and other relevant parties, to encourage them to make changes to procedures and practices to reduce the risk of preventable death. These recommendations can and do make important contributions to public policy and legislation development, particularly with regard to reform processes in such areas as the health system, aged care and disability service providers, policing, corrections, public health and safety as well as human rights concerns such as deaths in custody. This project will provide free access to coronial findings with recommendations available in digital form from all Australian jurisdictions in one central location on AustLII. It will also aim to gather together and link responses made by agencies to coronial recommendations. Some earlier findings with recommendations that only exist in paper form, will be digitised and added to the collection. These resources will then be searchable and cross-indexed to the relevant legislation and case law through citation mining using data-mining.
