Orders and Rulings

A coroner may make an order or ruling regarding an investigation, or during an inquest.

Orders and rulings are not written findings. They can include, but are not limited to:

  • a non-publication order restricting the release or publication of some information
  • a ruling to re-open an investigation
  • a ruling on whether the coroner has jurisdiction to investigate.

For cases where a non-publication order is in place please call 1300 309 519 and speak to our Communications Manager to obtain a copy.
