💜 CAITLIN’S LAW HAS OFFICIALLY BECOME LAW IN NSW! 💜

15 October 2026 – Passed both Houses of NSW Parliament.

23 October 2026 – Granted Royal Assent by the Governor of NSW.

Today, my beautiful daughter Caitlin Rose Thornton’s name becomes part of something that will protect families for generations to come. 💜

So, what is Caitlin’s Law, and why was it needed?

In March 2023, my beautiful 21-year-old daughter Caitlin died, leaving behind two little boys and a family whose lives would never be the same.

But our nightmare didn’t end with losing Caitlin.

Under the NSW Coroners Act 2009, Caitlin’s former partner was recognised as her senior next of kin, despite serious domestic violence allegations and assault charges involving Caitlin.

The law automatically prioritised his relationship to her, without giving the Coroner the discretion to decide whether he was an appropriate person to hold that responsibility.

As Caitlin’s mother, I was left fighting for a voice in decisions surrounding my own daughter’s death. We endured six agonising weeks before we could lay her to rest.

I couldn’t save my daughter, but I was determined to change the law so another family wouldn’t have to endure what we did.

💜 WHAT DOES THE NEW LAW CHANGE?

The Coroners Amendment (Senior Next of Kin) Act 2026, known through our campaign as Caitlin’s Law, changes how senior next of kin can be determined in NSW.

Under these reforms:

💜 Coroners will have the power to appoint a more appropriate senior next of kin when the person automatically entitled to that role is unsuitable.

💜 Allegations of domestic abuse, including coercive control, must be considered when making these decisions.

💜 An abusive partner will no longer be automatically protected by their relationship status when their suitability is being assessed.

💜 Other appropriate people with a genuine connection to the deceased can be recognised, including carers and people who raised someone without being their biological parents.

💜 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family and kinship structures will receive greater recognition.

💜 Families will have clearer pathways to challenge certain decisions.

This law is about dignity. It’s about compassion. It’s about protecting grieving families from further trauma.

It means a relationship certificate should never automatically give someone the power to continue controlling a person after death.

Today, I am incredibly proud, but my heart is also incredibly heavy.

Because behind this legislation is a daughter I desperately wish was still here. A young mother who should be raising her boys, celebrating birthdays and living the life she deserved.

I would trade every petition signature, every meeting and every moment in Parliament just to have Caitlin home.

But I can’t.

What I can do is make sure her name stands for change.

To everyone who signed our petition, shared Caitlin’s story, stood beside our family and helped make this possible — thank you.

To the NSW Parliament, the Minns Government, Emma Hurst MP, and every person who listened and acted — thank you for recognising that the law needed to change.

And to the other families who have suffered similar injustices, this change belongs to you too.

Our work isn’t finished. We will continue advocating for Caitlin’s Law to be adopted across every Australian state and territory.

Caitlin’s life mattered. Her voice matters. And now, her legacy will help protect others.

💜 Caitlin Rose Thornton — Forever 21. Forever loved. Forever changing lives.

CONTROL MUST NOT CONTINUE BEYOND LIFE.
