Northern Territory Numbered Acts Northern Territory Numbered Acts(1) The Chief Executive Officer may establish a register of advance personal plans for the purpose of:
(a) providing a repository for the safe-keeping of advance personal plans; and
(b) making them available to persons who have a proper interest in knowing whether an adult has an advance personal plan, and if so the terms on the plan.
Example for subsection (1)
A medical practitioner treating a person who has lost decision-making capacity would have a proper interest in finding out whether the person has an advance personal plan as it might contain an advance consent decision or appoint a decision maker.
(2) Registration of an advance personal plan in a register established under subsection (1) is optional and non-registration does not affect the validity or effect of the advance personal plan.
