0.5-hour Educational Activity + 1.5-hours Reviewing Performance 

This reviewing performance activity invites you to explore the role of the coronial system in investigating deaths and reflect on your understanding of its broader functions within Australia.  

Section A - Educational activity 

The following videos from the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine provide an overview of the coroner’s functions and explain the processes that occur within the first 48 hours after a death in Victoria. We invite you to watch these videos to assist you in answering the questions in section B – Reviewing Performance.  

Please be aware that these videos are specific to Victoria. While Coronial processes and laws are similar across Australia, they are not identical and may differ in your jurisdiction.
