12 Health care worker must provide accurate advice
This section applies to advice a health care worker gives a client in relation to a health service provided to the client.
The health care worker must—
allow the client to make an informed choice in relation to the health service, and other health services; and
not attempt to dissuade the client from seeking or continuing medical treatment; and
communicate and co-operate with colleagues, other health service providers and relevant entities in the best interests of a client.
However, subsection (2) does not prevent a health care worker from telling a client that the health care worker believes a health service provided by the health care worker will not benefit, or continue to benefit, the client.
