Canberra Health Services Division of Mental Health, Justice Health, and Alcohol & Drug Services (MHJHADS) has undertaken a review of the Care of a Person Subject to a Psychiatric Treatment Order with or without a Restriction Order procedure.

Canberra Health Services claims that the purpose of this procedure is to ensure staff practise according to their legislated obligations and provide effective clinical treatment, care, and support for persons who are subject to Psychiatric Treatment Orders (PTOs) with or without a Restriction Order (RO).
