Summary

Medical power of attorney makeover - medical treatment decision makers and advance care directives.

The Medical Treatment Planning and Decisions Act 2016 commences on 12 March 2018. This presentation will set out the new arrangements for the appointment of a medical treatment decision maker and the option of an advance care directive (binding instructions or preferences and values in relation to medical treatment) as well as the jurisdiction of VCAT – what orders can the Tribunal make, what is the process, and who has standing?
