Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) A patient’s
psychiatrist may revoke a decision under section 292(1) that a carer or close
family member of the patient is not entitled to be provided with particular
information or involved in a particular matter if satisfied that the reasons
for making the decision no longer apply.
(2) The
patient’s psychiatrist must, as soon as practicable, file a record of
the decision and the reasons for it and give a copy to the patient.
(3) If the carer or
close family member previously requested to be provided with the information
or involved in the matter, the patient’s psychiatrist must ensure that,
as soon as practicable —
(a) the
carer or close family member is provided with the information or involved in
the matter; and
(b) a
record of when and how the carer or close family member was provided with the
information or involved in the matter is filed and given to the patient.
(4) However, there is
no requirement to involve the carer or close family member in a matter if the
time for doing so has passed.
