Referral for advice about eligibility requirements
24 Referral for advice about eligibility requirements
If an individual’s consulting practitioner is unable to decide whether the individual meets an eligibility requirement, the consulting practitioner must refer the individual to another person who, in the opinion of the consulting practitioner, has the appropriate skills and training to provide advice about whether the individual meets the eligibility requirement.
The consulting practitioner must not refer the individual to a person who the consulting practitioner knows or believes—
is a family member of the individual; or
is a beneficiary under the will of the individual; or
may otherwise benefit financially or in any other material way (other than by receiving reasonable fees for the provision of services relating to the referral) from—
assisting the individual to access voluntary assisted dying; or
the death of the individual.
