Delivered by NSW Health with the Department of Justice, this state-of-the-art complex is the largest coroner’s court and forensic medicine facility in Australia. The complex’s advanced technologies, increased capacity and new ways of working will help forensic medicine, coronial staff and police solve complex coronial investigations.

Filled with natural light, the three-story building creates a sensitive, calm environment for people dealing with unexpected loss. Specially designed examination and viewing facilities, tranquil courtyards and artwork provide a dignified setting for the bereaved.
