The Health Care Decision Making Act 2023 (NT), which commenced on 1 July 2024, introduces crucial changes to the Northern Territory’s approach to health care decision making. This Act fills a significant gap left by the repealed Emergency Medical Operations Act 1973, by establishing a clear framework for making health care decisions for individuals who cannot make decisions for themselves.
