The Black Hawk Board of Inquiry (BOI) has announced that the hearings will resume on Monday, June 18 at Randwick Barracks in Sydney.

The BOI has been established to determine the facts and circumstances surrounding the loss of an Army Black Hawk helicopter operating with HMAS Kanimbla off Fiji on November 29 last year.

Two ADF personnel, Captain Mark Bingley and Trooper Joshua Porter, died in the incident.

Since the BOI was established, Counsel Assisting have collected and analysed evidence relevant to the terms of reference.

Witnesses and other key Defence personnel have been interviewed, and written statements have been obtained.
