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

When the Director-General makes a decision about a special care recipient's leave under section 66, you must be told about it if you are a victim. The Director-General will tell you if they support the leave and if the Minister has agreed to it. They will also tell you about any rules the special care recipient must follow while on leave, as decided under section 66. The Director-General might not tell you about some of these rules if they think it would affect someone else's privacy. You will be told about these decisions if you were notified under section 67B or if you made a submission under section 67E about the leave decision under section 66.
