Making treatment order information available to treatment order agencies for treatment order purpose
6C Making treatment order information available to treatment order agencies for treatment order purpose
The chief executive of a treatment order agency (the sending agency), or a service provider, may make treatment order information about a person available to the chief executive of a treatment order agency (the receiving agency) for a treatment order purpose.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that the sending agency need not give treatment order information if the sending agency reasonably considers it would not be in the public interest to do so because, for example, giving the information could reasonably be expected to—
prejudice the investigation of a contravention or possible contravention of a law in a particular case; or
enable the existence or identity of a confidential source of information, in relation to the enforcement or administration of a law, to be ascertained; or
endanger a person’s life or physical safety; or
prejudice the effectiveness of a lawful method or procedure for preventing, detecting, investigating or dealing with a contravention or possible contravention of a law.
