The Medical Treatment Planning and Decisions Act 2016 came into effect on 12 March 2018 and our Powers and Advance Care Directive publication was updated accordingly.
New precedents reflecting those changes were added:
- Advance care directive and corresponding revocation form;
- Appointment of medical treatment decision maker and corresponding resignation and revocation forms;
- Appointment of support person and corresponding resignation and revocation forms.
These precedents have now been coded with the new table types – Medical Decision Maker and Support Person. You will need to add these table types to existing matters for your forms to populate.
