Coroners around Australia are frustrated their potentially life-saving recommendations to prevent Indigenous suicide are being routinely ignored by the government, a new national report has found.The report found coroners' recommendations were falling on deaf earsIt called for "radically different coronial approaches" to improve the situation
"Having none of this contact or communication with the current coroner's office ... makes the situation for them more complex." "Another had been asked to consider recommending the employment of more Indigenous health workers in prisons following a death in custody, but said he did not do so because they knew this workforce could not be recruited in the region in question."
There have been calls for "radically different coronial approaches" to try and improve interactions between Indigenous families and coroner's courts.More recently, suicide registers have been established in some jurisdictions, including Victoria, which are primarily intended as early alert systems for suicide clusters.
