Treatment Orders

A Treatment Order is an Order made by the Mental Health Tribunal enabling a person to be given treatment for mental illness, without the person’s informed consent. A Treatment Order may:

• require you to be given specified treatment
• require you to be treated at a particular place, such as a hospital or community mental
• health premises
• require you (if you’re being treated) to be admitted to and detained in an approved facility
• so that the person can be treated
• provide for other incidental matters that the Mental Health Tribunal thinks are necessary or
• desirable in the circumstances.
