Understanding the Coroners Process.
Losing a loved one to suicide or a traumatic death is deeply painful. The coronial process that follows can be confusing, emotional, and overwhelming, but it’s also an important opportunity for families and communities to have their voices heard.
Thirrili, in partnership with Norton Rose Fulbright, has developed the Coroners Toolkit Project. This important project is a culturally grounded, trauma-informed resource to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families navigate the Coroner’s Court.
💬 The toolkits include information about:
• The difference between a coronial investigation and an inquest
• What families can expect during each stage of the process
• How cultural protocols and family wishes can be respected
• The rights of families and how they can contribute to the process
• Where to find support during and after the coronial process
These resources aim to empower families with knowledge and ensure their voices are part of creating change and preventing future loss.

Every warm interaction matters
For our last post for this Mental Health Month, we’re reminded that even small acts of care and kindness can strengthen community connections. Compassion, empathy and listening deeply are at the heart of building hope and resilience.
At Thirrili we have heard time and time again, how one comment, one action has the power to change the day or week for someone who is going through a really challenging time. This helps us support others in community in small and often important ways.
