About Us
Court Services Victoria provides corporate services and facilities to support the performance of the judicial, quasi-judicial and administrative functions of Victoria's courts and tribunal, Judicial College and Judicial Commission.
Collectively, Victoria's Supreme, County, Magistrates', Children's, and Coroners courts, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), the Judicial College of Victoria, the Judicial Commission of Victoria, and Court Services Victoria (CSV) are referred to as the ‘Courts Group'.
Our people enable the Courts Group to deliver on each jurisdictions own strategic priorities while also pursuing strategic opportunities that are interconnected and deliver benefits more broadly.
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.
