"How to quit being a coroner"

Illustration for Coroners Act 2006

You can resign as a coroner if you are not a District Court Judge. You do this by giving the Attorney-General a written notice. This also applies to relief coroners and associate coroners. You give the same type of notice as other coroners. The Attorney-General gets the notice from you. This is how you resign from the office. You can find more information about this by looking at the Coroners Act and the Coroners Amendment Act 2023.
