Administrator must explain effect of request
89 Administrator must explain effect of request
As soon as practicable after the administrator of the person’s treating health service becomes aware this part applies to the person, the administrator must—
tell the person a request may be made under this part for a psychiatrist report about the person in relation to the charge of the serious offence; and
explain to the person the effect of a request if made.
If the person is a minor, the administrator must also explain the effect of a request to 1 or more of the minor’s parents.
Subsection (2) does not apply if explaining the effect to 1 or more of the minor’s parents does not appear to be in the minor’s best interests.
