The Medical Certificate Cause of Death (MCCD) form was developed by a working party of representatives from the Registry, NSW Ministry of Health, and the Office of the State Coroner. 

The Medical Certificate Cause of Death is produced in A3 format and provides:

• collection of additional data and guidance to ensure accurate reporting of deaths
• space for accurate data collection with a fluid layout
• easy storage (it folds to A4 and hole punched to assist with filing).

Additional information is collected in the Medical Certificate Cause of Death including:

• the clinician's eligibility to complete the Medical Certificate Cause of Death
• details about the reporting clinician for follow up
• details about the deceased person, to provide further epidemiological information about deaths to assist with accurate reporting to the coroner.

View the Australian Bureau of Statistics guide to accurately completing an MCCD.
