74 Transport to other jurisdictions when South Australian inpatient treatment orders apply
If a South Australian inpatient treatment order has been made in respect of a person, the person making the order or a South
Australian authorised officer may, with the approval of the Chief
Psychiatrist, instead of transporting the person to a South
Australian treatment centre for admission to that centre—
transport the person to an interstate treatment centre; or
deliver the person into the care and control of an interstate authorised officer (whether in or outside South Australia) for the purpose of the person's transport to an interstate treatment centre.
Section 63(1) applies to the taking of action under subsection (1).
A
South Australian authorised officer or an interstate authorised officer may, for the purpose of the person's transport to an interstate treatment centre—
exercise the powers of an authorised officer under Part
9; and
if the officer is a police officer (however described) in South
Australia or another jurisdiction—exercise the powers of a police officer under Part
9, (and the provisions of Part
9, including section 60, will apply for the purpose with necessary modifications).
