Requests for health records and visitor records by family members in disputed estates

In this episode, we look at requests for health records and visitor records in residential care by family members in disputed estates in South Australia.

We focus on:

• who has the capacity to speak on behalf of the estate;
• access to health records;
• access to visitor records being maintained by a residential care provider to comply with Covid-19 emergency directions and risks involved in providing those; and
• if requested documents are going to be provided, can a provider ask for cost reimbursement for the time and administrative resources used to provide them.
