CORONERS ACT 2003 - SECT 10A

10A State Coroner to notify children's commissioner of deaths

(1) If the death of a child is reported to the State Coroner under section 7, the State Coroner must, within 30 days after receiving the report--

(a) notify the children's commissioner of the death; and
(b) if a report about the death was given under section 7(3) by a police officer to a coroner--give the children's commissioner a copy of the report unless the State Coroner considers that giving the report is likely to prejudice an investigation by a coroner or police officer.

(2) Before giving the children's commissioner a copy of a report under subsection (1)(b), the State Coroner must ensure that all information in the report that identifies anyone is obliterated.

(3) However, the State Coroner need not obliterate information if the State Coroner reasonably believes the person's identity is necessary for the children's commissioner's child death research functions.
