Coroners Act 2009

The Team has the following functions—

to review closed cases of domestic violence deaths occurring in New South Wales,

to analyse data to identify patterns and trends relating to such deaths,

to make recommendations as to legislation, policies, practices and services for implementation by government and non-government agencies and the community to prevent or reduce the likelihood of such deaths,

to establish and maintain a database (in accordance with the regulations) about such deaths,

to undertake, alone or with others, research that aims to help prevent or reduce the likelihood of such deaths.

The Team may review a domestic violence death even though the death is or may be the subject of action by the Child Death Review Team.

Any function of the Team with respect to domestic violence deaths may be exercised with respect to the death of a person who dies outside New South Wales while ordinarily resident in New South Wales.

The Convenor may enter into an agreement or other arrangement for the exchange of information between the Team and a person or body having functions in another State or Territory that are substantially similar to the functions of the Team, being information relevant to the exercise of the functions of the Team or that person or body.
