  • A great opportunity to contribute to improved health and safety outcomes for all Victorians.

  • We offer flexible options to support a healthy work/life balance.

About us
Court Services Victoria provides corporate services and facilities to support the performance of the judicial, quasi-judicial and administrative functions of Victoria's courts and tribunal, Judicial College and Judicial Commission.
Collectively, Victoria's Supreme, County, Magistrates', Children's, and Coroners courts, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), the Judicial College of Victoria, the Judicial Commission of Victoria, and Court Services Victoria (CSV) are referred to as the ‘Courts Group'.
Our people enable the Courts Group to deliver on each jurisdiction's own strategic priorities while also pursuing strategic opportunities that are interconnected and deliver benefits more broadly.

The Coroners Court of Victoria (CCOV) is responsible for:
  • Independently investigating deaths and fires. Certain deaths and fires are reported to the coroners for independent investigation. Their investigations seek to establish the facts - when, where, how and why the death or fire happened.
  • Reducing preventable deaths. Wherever possible, the coroner will suggest ways to prevent similar deaths or fires by making well informed and practical recommendations, based on the evidence before them.
  • Promoting public health and safety and the administration of justice. The court regularly reports on data and trends regarding preventable deaths in Victoria to help inform public health responses.

Court employees have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the community through their dedication to care and respect for families experiencing loss, and commitment to justice and safety.

About the Coroners Prevention Unit
The Coroners Prevention Unit (CPU) is a service established to assist coroners in identifying opportunities to strengthen public health and safety through well-researched, evidence-based recommendations.
It is the only multidisciplinary team of its kind in Australia, comprising specialist staff who work to identify any potential failures and other factors that contributed to the incident.
Coroners can refer matters to the CPU at any point during an investigation. Additionally, the CPU undertakes both individual and collaborative research projects to support coronial investigations, underpinning a better understanding of preventable deaths in Victoria.

Why join CCOV
Working at CCOV offers:
  • the opportunity to perform work of real significance to the Victorian community
  • a meaningful role in a unique judicial environment
  • flexible and innovative work practices that support balance between work and family life
  • a workplace committed to diversity, inclusion, safety and respect
  • attractive salary and access to training and development opportunities
For more information on the Coroners Court of Victoria, please visit www.coronerscourt.vic.gov.au

About the role
Within the CPU, the Mental Health and Disability Case Investigator assists coroners in their investigations into reportable deaths where mental health issues are identified or people with a disability have died whilst in care.
The Mental Health and Disability Case Investigator has responsibility to:
  • Review medical, legal and health policy documents to identify the need for further investigation of mental health and/or disability related deaths.
  • Apply investigative and research skills to examine the adequacy of treatment for persons experiencing mental ill health proximate to their death.
  • Prepare written advice to coroners identifying any factors that may have contributed to the death and recommend where improvements can be made to prevent similar deaths from occurring in the future.

About you
We are looking for a dynamic and values-driven team player with excellent communication skills and a commitment to public health and safety with:
  • Experience in the area of mental health care, with further experience in the disability sector being highly advantageous.
  • Demonstrated experience in research and analysis with the ability to synthesise complex concepts into concise reports.
  • Exceptional ability to plan and manage in-depth caseloads in a proactive way.
