The Victorian Government has welcomed a new coroner with the appointment of Dimitra Dubrow.
Attorney-General, Jaclyn Symes, today congratulated Ms Dubrow on her appointment to the Coroners Court of Victoria.
“I’d like to congratulate Ms Dubrow on her appointment to the Coroners Court. She brings a wealth of experience to the role and will deliver justice and integrity in all her work with the court,” she said.
Ms Dubrow (pictured) is a Law Institute of Victoria Accredited Personal Injuries Specialist and has served on several committees, including as Chair of the Law Institute’s Public Liability and Medical Negligence Committee from 2014 to 2018.
She was admitted to practice in 1998 and has more than 25 years of legal experience, including at Maurice Blackburn Lawyers where she specialised in medical negligence law and coronial investigations. She has been the National Head of the Medical Negligence practice at Maurice Blackburn Lawyers since 2018 and led the national Dust Diseases practice encompassing asbestos and silica related disease from 2019 to 2024.
Ms Dubrow’s appointment comes after the departure of Katherine Lorenz who was appointed as a judicial registrar to the Supreme Court of Victoria.
“I’d like to thank Katherine Lorenz who has provided an outstanding service and depth of expertise as a coroner and congratulate her on her appointment as Judicial Registrar,” said Ms Symes.
