The inquest investigated the circumstances of the 2016 death of a pregnant Wiradjuri woman, 27-year-old Naomi Williams, who died 15 hours after seeking medical help for severe pain.

When handing down her findings last week, deputy state coroner Harriet Grahame recommended the Murrumbidgee Local Health District strengthen its Aboriginal health worker program, measure implicit bias at the hospital and increase representation of Aboriginal people in staff and local health boards.

As part of the clinical law elective, students had regular meetings via Skype with public health solicitors from the National Justice Project, who prepared the case.

NJP director Professor George Newhouse said the students made a significant contribution with their research in the important inquest.

"The NJP is appreciative of their assistance," Professor Newhouse said.

The students worked together to compile a chronology of significant events in the case, under the supervision of UTAS law lecturers Dr Brendan Gogarty and Naomi Bryant.

"Working with NJP, a leading national human rights organisation, is an unparalleled opportunity for both staff and students to appreciate the genuine and systematic discrimination Aboriginal people face across the country, and for our students to make genuine and practical contributions to improving that situation," Dr Gogarty said.

UTAS law graduate Justin Heng, who contributed to the inquest, said working on the case opened his eyes to the injustices faced by vulnerable persons and communities.

"The clinical unit equipped me with plenty of practical skills that I would need to apply in my early legal career," Mr Heng said.

"I hope to continue to do good work for those who need it."

Based on the success of the collaboration, students of this year's clinical elective unit will assist NJP with another two health discrimination matters.
