Part of the Service providers topic
Hospitals can find out how to register for real-time email notifications for medical cause of death forms.
On this page
In short
Hospital administration can register to receive email notifications with links to the completed medical cause of death forms submitted on behalf of the hospital.
The forms include:
- Form 9 – medical cause of death certificate
- Form 9A – perinatal supplement
- Form 1A Section A – report a death to Coroners Court of Queensland.
What you should know
Hospitals 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:
- Microsoft 365 if they have a Queensland Health email address or
- a Queensland Digital Identity.
Read more information about the online portal process.
We recommend adding a link to the Service Provider Portal on the hospital intranet so medical practitioners can access it easily.
How to register for email notifications
The service is free and easy to set up:
- get approval from your hospital's quality assurance manager (or similar), Director of Medical Services or Director of Clinical Services
- email bdmserviceprovider@justice.qld.gov.au with a shared mailbox email address and ask to be set up for the email notification service.
We will contact you within 2 working days to confirm the service is ready for use.
