Illustration for Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003

When a co-ordinator presents a report under section 72, they must also give or send a copy of that report to you if you are the care recipient. They must also give or send a copy to your care manager, and to your parents or guardians if you are a child or young person. They have to send a copy to other people too, like your welfare guardian, lawyer, and principal caregiver. The co-ordinator must send a copy to the specialist assessor who gave a certain certificate, and to the responsible district inspector. If you are a special care recipient, the co-ordinator must also send a copy to the Director-General of Health. If you get a copy of the report, you can write to the Family Court about what you think of it. When the co-ordinator sends you the report, they must also tell you that you have the right to write to the Family Court about it.
