Government Responses to Coronial Recommendations

Premier's Memorandum 2009-12 was introduced in 2009. It sets out the process for Ministers and Government agencies to respond to recommendations made by the Coroner. The Memorandum is there to ensure that there is consistency in reporting what agencies and Ministers are doing in response to recommendations directed at them by the Coroner.

Agencies and Ministers are required to report to the Attorney General, within six months of receiving a coronial recommendation, outlining any action to be taken to implement the recommendation.

Not all inquests will result in the Coroner making recommendations. Recommendations may also be made to non-Government bodies, which are not required to report to the Attorney General.
