ABORIGINAL HERITAGE ACT 2006 - SECT 19A

Transfer of Aboriginal ancestral remains to Council by coroner

A coroner who has reported to the Council that a body is, or is likely to be, Aboriginal ancestral remains must, as soon as practicable, transfer the remains into the custody of the Council.

Note

A coroner is required under sections 16A and 23(4) of the Coroners Act 2008 to report to the Council if, in investigating a death, the coroner believes that the body is, or is likely to be, Aboriginal ancestral remains, or if a preliminary examination performed by a medical investigator determines that the body is, or is likely to be, Aboriginal ancestral remains.
