Guardianship and Administration Act 2000

While an approval given under section 80ZH or 80ZI is in effect, the public guardian may give approval for a relevant service provider to use another restrictive practice in relation to the adult if satisfied of the matters stated in section 80ZH(2)(a) to (d) for the restrictive practice.

Also, if the restrictive practice is chemical restraint, the public guardian must be satisfied the relevant service provider has consulted with, and considered the views of, the adult’s treating doctor.

The public guardian may not give approval under this section for use of a restrictive practice if a guardian for a restrictive practice (general) matter for the adult has given, or refused to give, consent to the use of the restrictive practice for the adult.

An approval given under this section ends—

if a guardian for a restrictive practice (general) matter for the adult gives, or refuses to give, consent to the relevant service provider to use the restrictive practice in relation to the adult; or

otherwise—on the day the approval given under section 80ZH or 80ZI ends.
