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 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 You can direct another person to sign this document in your presence if you are unable to sign yourself; and

8️⃣ 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.

Valid Witnessing Requirements:

The appointment form must be signed by any adult (who cannot be one of the witnesses or your appointed Support Person) at your direction and in your presence in front of two independent adult witnesses (neither witness can be your appointed Support Person):

1️⃣   Someone authorised to witness affidavits; and

2️⃣  A Medical Practitioner (medical doctor).

Optional Extras:

➲ 💡 Trax Print Fraud + Litigation Prevention Technology $22.

Safe Storage: 

🔒  The Victorian Will + Power of Attorney Registry

Meeting with James was a pleasure, I experienced something truly exceptional, and I can't help but share my enthusiasm through this review. The service I received was impeccable. James was not only highly professional but also genuinely friendly, making me feel like a valued client throughout that moment. He was very knowledgeable and provided me with valuable information. His attention to detail was not limited, yet without sacrificing substance for style. In conclusion, our meeting provided an unforgettable experience, and the knowledge that I received was something truly remarkable. Highly recommended.

This thought-provoking article underscores the often overlooked yet profoundly important aspect of estate planning – the ethical will or legacy letter – adding depth and significance to the process of passing down not just assets, but personal values and wisdom.

Thanks for this FREE Titan Lawyer [AI] Demo, I think it was a useful and impressive exercise. Output: There was nothing in the output that I would disagree with. It has correctly identified some lack of specifics (which was on purpose due to the intra-group context). No hallucinations. There is no deficiency in the terms that Titan Lawyer failed to see. But on the other hand, I do not know what I don't know ...

Titan Lawyer [AI] Demo Use case: In terms of workflow and getting something back that is actionable, I think this works. It would support me in turning around the document. Would like to play with it some more if I can think of documents and use cases to throw at it.

James has been great to work with. I called him on a Monday and by Tuesday he had a formal [19-Page] Concerns Notice sent to a person defaming me and my business. He stayed in touch throughout the day, kept me updated regularly and was diligent to ensure we were exercising all of my rights under the law. Thanks, James!
