Code of Practice for Co-Decision Makers
This code of practice provides guidance for co-decision-makers appointed under a co-decision-making agreement to meet their responsibilities and duties under the Act by supporting a relevant person and making decisions jointly with them.
This includes following the guiding principles within the Act and working with other decision supporters and interveners. It also includes their record keeping and reporting obligations.
This code does not cover the process for making a co-decision-making agreement, which can be found in separate guidance in our Resources section.
