Caution:
This site includes information about child deaths, which some readers may find distressing. If you need support, free and confidential help is available.
We wish to convey our sincere condolences to the families and friends of the infants, children and young people in NSW who have died. It is our foremost responsibility to learn from these deaths and to use that knowledge to make a difference.
For general enquiries, research, and media enquiries, please contact us on the below channels.
We cannot provide families with information from the Register
We are prohibited from providing information from the Register of Child Deaths, except in very limited circumstances to certain bodies or agencies.
Our legislation prevents us providing information we have sourced from records to the families of children who have died.
However, where appropriate, we can provide families with general information about our functions and advice about alternative avenues to seek information, such as the Coroner’s Court. Families can also make a complaint to the Ombudsman about an agency’s conduct in relation to a death by using our online complaint form or by contacting us.
