Directions—secure mental health facilities
9 Directions—secure mental health facilities
The director-general may make directions in relation to a secure mental health facility (a SMHF direction) to facilitate the effective and efficient management of the facility.
Note Power to make a statutory instrument includes power to make different provision in relation to different matters or different classes of matters, and to make an instrument that applies differently by reference to stated exceptions or factors (see Legislation Act, s 48).
A SMHF direction must be consistent with—
this Act and the Mental Health Act 2015; and
if the direction applies to a health practitioner—the registration standards for the health practitioner.
A worker at a secure mental health facility must comply with a SMHF direction.
Note Worker—see the dictionary.
A SMHF direction is a notifiable instrument.
