This document follows the format of the form approved by the Department of Health and Human Services of Victoria for the Appointment of a Medical Treatment Support Person pursuant to the Medical Treatment Planning and Decisions Act 2016 (VIC).

About Appointing a Medical Treatment Support Person:

1️⃣ You (including a child who has decision-making capacity) can appoint one Support Person;

2️⃣ Your Support Person can be an adult or a child;

3️⃣ The role of your Support Person is to support you to make, communicate and act on your Medical Treatment Decisions;

4️⃣ Your Support Person cannot make any Medical Treatment Decisions on your behalf;

5️⃣ Your Support Person has the authority to access, or help you to access, your health information (including your medical records) relevant to your medical treatment;

6️⃣ Any existing Support Person appointment previously made by you under the Act will be revoked on making this appointment;

7️⃣ A competent (preferably NAATI accredited) interpreter can assist to facilitate the preparation +/or witnessing of the appointment.

Representing your interests in relation to your Medical Treatment Decisions:

Your Support Person can also represent your interests in relation to your medical treatment.

For example, you might tell them what you want, or do not want, and they may help you talk to your doctors, nurses, and other health practitioners about this.

They can do this even if you become so unwell that you are not able to make your own decisions at the time.

However, your Support Person does not have power to make medical treatment decisions for you, unless you have appointed them as your Medical Treatment Decision Maker.

We needed a really good lawyer and after doing our research we decided to contact Blue Ocean Law Group. James runs a very efficient service and has extensive knowledge of Defamation Law. Nothing was a problem. James would follow up with me regarding issues that had arisen. He dealt with each issue in a professional and ethical manner. James would explain every detail on the phone and the process could not have been easier!

Blue Ocean Law Group's website has plenty of information in easy, layman's language that explains how Defamation Law works in Australia and from there, it was really easy to book an appointment online. James is a thoroughly professional Lawyer and it was a pleasure dealing with him. Keep up the good work, James! Cheers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

(Translated by Google) Lawyer James Ford was the best. He assisted me all the way through a dispute with a tenant who tried his best to extort money from the landlord due to a conflict with another tenant. James is reliable in his profession amongst lawyers in this field ... James patiently guided me, a landlord whose English is my second language, throughout the whole process ... It was because of his command that my case was turned from a disadvantage to an advantage. His charges are also very reasonable. So if you are a landlord I would highly recommend 'James Ford' to you.

Our case was unique. My client was based in Thailand and we needed a lawyer in Australia. After searching several firms in NSW we found Blue Ocean Law Group. James was very helpful. He explained the matter in detail via emails and on several occasions over the phone to us in Thailand. The resources on the firm's website were also very helpful in providing additional information for us. I would highly recommend James and will use him again if we need a lawyer in Australia.

James was very helpful. He called back on the same day and was able to provide valuable information needed urgently. He has taken the time to explain the matter in details on several occasions over the phone and investigate the matter further on my behalf; this without costs. I would highly recommend him and will definitely use him if I need a lawyer in the future.
