Directions to visitors
34 Directions to visitors
The director-general may, orally or in writing, give a direction to a visitor at a secure mental health facility to do, or not do, something if the director-general believes on reasonable grounds that the direction is necessary and reasonable—
to ensure compliance with the visiting conditions; or
for the safety of other patients or staff at the facility.
A direction under subsection (1) may include a direction to—
not enter the facility; or
leave the facility.
If a direction is given in relation to a visitor who is a child, the director-general must tell the child’s parent or someone else with parental responsibility for the child about the direction and the reasons for it.
Note Person with parental responsibility, for a child—see the dictionary.
The director-general must keep a record of each direction given under this section.
