Notes: Form 3D – Order authorising reception and detention in an authorised hospital for

further examination

When to use this form:

Following an examination of a person by a psychiatrist at a place that is not an authorised

and detained there to enable a further examination by a psychiatrist at the authorised hospital

(s61).

The making of this order is a Notifiable Event which means, where possible, at least one

personal support person must be notified of the making of this order.

A Form 3B – Continuation of detention can be completed if a medical practitioner or authorised

mental health practitioner is satisfied that the person needs to continue to be detained in order to

enable the person to be taken to the authorised hospital.

A Form 4A – Transport Order can be completed by a psychiatrist if satisfied that no other safe

means of taking the person to the authorised hospital is reasonably available.
