Australian Capital Territory Current Acts

MENTAL HEALTH ACT 2015 - SECT 2

The dictionary at the end of this Act is part of this Act.

Note 1     The dictionary at the end of this Act defines certain terms used in this Act, and includes references ("signpost definitions") to other terms defined elsewhere.

For example, the signpost definition ‘ care and protection order —see the Children and Young People Act 2008

, section 422.' means that the term ‘care and protection order' is defined in that section and the definition applies to this Act.

Note 2     A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) applies to the entire Act unless the definition, or another provision of the Act, provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see Legislation Act

, s 155 and s 156 (1)).
