The State Coroner of Victoria has authorised the issue of the following Practice Note to:
(a) provide guidance on expectations for the correct pronunciation of names and forms of address in coronial proceedings; and
(b) facilitate a simple process by which families, interested parties and legal representatives can provide, and the Court can seek, clarification on correct pronunciation of names and appropriate forms of address.
