Requesting Rights Advice Visits
For use by physicians and other professionals
Most community hospitals in Ontario have designated the PPAO to provide
rights advice in their scheduled psychiatric facilities. The Minister
of Health and Long Term Care has also designated the PPAO to provide
rights advice to all persons subject to community treatment orders who
are not currently inpatients in psychiatric facilities.
Below are two forms that physicians and designated staff may use to request rights advice. Each form is fillable on your computer screen, but must be printed and then faxed to our office. Please provide as much detail as possible.
