Notes:	This article examines child death review processes in Australia and outlines recommended best practices. The authors draw on research, reports and public policy to present a background to development and current implementation of child death reviews in Australia. State specific legislation related to child death reviews for New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria are examined in relation to statutory codification, multidisciplinary composition, autonomy, scope of powers, and accountability. From this, the authors outline best practices to be considered on a national level.
