In short

Aged care and nursing homes can register to receive email notifications with links to the completed medical cause of death forms submitted on behalf of their organisation.

The forms include:

• Form 9 – medical cause of death certificate
• Form 1A Section A – report a death to Coroners Court of Queensland.

What you should know

Aged care and nursing homes get real-time email notifications each time an electronic form is submitted or updated by the:

• medical practitioner
• Coroners Court of Queensland
• Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.

Learn more about the email notification service.

Medical practitioners at your hospital must sign up and use the Service Provider Portal to submit the forms online. They can sign up with:

• a Queensland Digital Identity.
