Mental Health: Advance Statements in mental health

From Advance statements of preference, Mental Health and Wellbeing Act 2022 Handbook, State of Victoria - Department of Health. Melbourne:

Advance statements of preferences are written by a person saying what treatment, care and support they prefer should they become subject to an order that authorises compulsory assessment or treatment.

An advance statement of preferences is a way of ensuring that treatment, care and support decisions better align with a patient’s preferences.
