About the Coroners Court NT
The coroner’s office investigates deaths and suspected deaths in the Northern Territory (NT) on behalf of the community.
The types of deaths the coroner will investigate are called reportable deaths.
As well as deaths, the coroner may inquire into disasters where public safety is substantially endangered.
The coroner decides whether or not to hold a public inquest into death – this is a public court hearing.
Decisions are available to the public. They are published on the Coronial inquests and findings page on the Department of the Attorney General and Justice website.
