Emergency Medical Consent Form

An emergency medical consent form that lets your workers seek emergency treatment for a participant when the participant cannot consent and their guardian or emergency contact cannot be reached in time. It is signed by the participant's legally authorised decision-maker, or by the participant if they have capacity.

What is inside:

• Participant details, GP, Medicare and private health fund, and whether an advance care directive is in place
• Known medical conditions, current medications, allergies, blood type and specific treatment instructions
• Guardian or legal decision-maker and two emergency contacts
• Decision-maker consent, setting out what is authorised and what the consent does not cover
• Participant consent section
• Review and update record

Good to know: the consent covers emergencies only, not elective or non-urgent procedures, and does not override the participant's own decisions where they have capacity. It lasts 12 months from signing unless revoked or the decision-maker changes.
