I can only find this meaning of misconduct, from 2015 NSW.

Interesting Criminal Laws: Interfering with a Dead Human Body

What does misconduct with regard to corpses actually mean?

Misconduct with corpses can cover any inappropriate treatment of a dead body, including the disposal of human remains and mutilation of a body.

The definition of indecency with regard to corpses is the same legal definition that is used to apply to sexual offences. For a person to be convicted of indecently interfering with a dead human body, the prosecution needs to prove that the accused performed an act of a sexual nature on the corpse, or some other act that would be considered indecent by the accepted community standards of the day.

Not all charges of misconduct or interfering with a dead body are sexual in nature, in fact the majority of these types of charges relate to allegations of interfering with a body to conceal its presence or to dispose of it after a murder has taken place.
Jingoes. That site tells us what we can do if we are charged with misconduct to a human body. Thank God we know where to get help if we interfere with a dead person..
 
Its a charge normally heard in the district court in QLD. Murder charges will be heard in the supreme court
Sections 236 (b) of the Criminal Code Queensland states:

Any person who, without lawful justification or excuse, the proof of which lies with the person-

Improperly or indecently interferes with, or offers any indignity to, any dead human body or human remains, whether buried or not; is guilty of a misdemeanour.
 
Thanks Champaign. I was just coming to post this. Within the article it also states LB wasn’t reported missing to police until June 26 only 1 day before she was found. Although I think family had posted missing posts during the 2 weeks before. Unfortunately LB was already gone but finding where she was within 24 hours is good police work.
ETA - not saying anything negative about when missing report was done either just I had thought she was reported missing earlier.
