216 Other persons to be notified about grant or variation of leave

As soon as practicable after an authorised psychiatrist grants a leave of absence to a person or varies a leave of absence granted to a person, the authorised psychiatrist must ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to notify the following persons that the leave has been granted or varied—

(a) any nominated support person of the person granted leave;

(b) any guardian of the person granted leave;

(c) any carer of the person granted leave, if the authorised psychiatrist is satisfied that the grant or variation of leave will directly affect the care relationship between the carer and the person;

(d) a parent of the person granted leave, if the person is under 16 years of age;

(e) the DFFH Secretary, if that Secretary has parental responsibility for the person granted leave under a relevant child protection order.
