Coronial Services of New Zealand
The Coronial Service of New Zealand has been introduced to provide an independent coronial system for investigation and to prevent deaths and promote Justice through:
- Investigations, and the identification of the causes and circumstances, of sudden and unexplained deaths, or deaths in special circumstances; and
- The making of specified recommendations or comments that, if drawn to public attention, may reduce the chances of the occurrence of other deaths in similar circumstances.
The National Office of the Coronial Services of New Zealand is based in Wellington, along with the Office of the Chief Coroner and the Coronial Services Unit (CSU).
