She is a Law Institute of Victoria accredited personal injuries specialist, the Victorian Attorney-General’s Department detailed in a statement, and has worked to increase access and make improvements to the law and legal processes and improve patient outcomes in the healthcare system.
Speaking about the appointment, Attorney-General Jaclyn Symes said: “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.
“I’d also 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.”
