hello thee Cando
from Googling came up with the following information
""New South Wales
Inquest records survive and are publicly available from 1796 to 1963. As is often the case with source records, there are gaps in both the time periods covered and in the types of record which have survived.
From 1796 to 1824 and for 1828, reports of inquests survive. These usually provide full accounts of a death, often through witness statements.
For the period up to 1824, the papers form part of the Colonial Secretary's Index and Papers, 1788-1825 (searchable on-line). The reports of inquests are available on microfilm at SAG (SAG Reels 3810-3811), as are the Colonial Secretary's Papers. These sources are also available at a number of research repositories throughout New South Wales.
From 1834-1942 there are inquest indexes and registers on microfilm. There are gaps in these records, with indexes for some years but no accompanying registers, and registers for others but no indexes. The available records can be found on microfilm at SAG (SAG Reels 3812-3820 and 3672-3678) and at a number of other research repositories.
As a minimum, the registers of inquests will provide the person's name, date of the inquest and cause of death. Later registers — from the 1870s on — provide greater information, including details such as place of birth and age.
The inquest papers themselves do not survive before 1940, apart from a small number of papers for the years 1916, 1918-20, 1921-38. From 1940 to 1963, the inquest papers are accessible at the Western Sydney Records Centre of State Records. "
