About automatic reviews of ordersSACAT must review all administration, guardianship and special powers orders at specified intervals.

The applicant for an order, or for the variation or revocation of an order, under the Guardianship and Administration Act 1993 or the Mental Health Act 2009 must submit a medical report in support of their application. The Tribunal also requires an updated report on any review of orders under s 57 Guardianship and Administration Act 1993. SACAT provides template documents on its website for this purpose.

Regrettably, SACAT is not able to arrange for payment for the completion of this document, or for the provision of any other report. This is a protective jurisdiction and SACAT appreciates this community service.

If a health professional intends to charge a small fee for this service the account will need to be forwarded to the protected person or to their administrator, or to the applicant if this is a family member.

What happens after an automatic review?After the automatic review, SACAT can make a further order or vary or revoke the order, if satisfied on the evidence that the circumstances of the protected person have changed, or if there are no proper grounds for the order to remain in force.
