Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) If it appears to the court on the application of the public trustee or of any other person who appears to the court to have a proper interest in making such application that there are reasonable grounds for thinking that a person (the person in question) may be a person in respect of whom a protection order should be made under section 65, the court may order that--
(a) the person in question shall submit to such medical, psychological or other examination as the court thinks proper; and
(b) any other person having or appearing to have the care or control of the person in question or being in charge of any building or premises where the person in question is, or on reasonable ground is thought likely to be, shall allow such access and give such assistance to any person concerned with the carrying out of any such examination as is reasonable; and
(c) any persons (including the person in question) or all persons in general shall give to the public trustee or any other person or persons specified by the court such information regarding the affairs of the person in question (including the inspection of books or documents and the copying of them or any parts of them) as is reasonably requested.
(2) Before making an order under subsection (1) the court shall, if it appears to it to be desirable, order that notice of the application shall be given to the person in question or to any other person whom the court shall specify.
(3) Where the court makes an order under subsection (1) it may thereafter receive in evidence any report made in consequence and may have regard to the matters contained in the report.
(4) If, as a result of the reports of the person or any of the persons making any such investigation pursuant to such order or of any other evidence which shall be tendered or which may be given by any person whom the court directs to be called as a witness, it appears to the satisfaction of the court that the person in question is a person in regard to whom a protection order might be made under section 65, the court may make such a protection order.
(5) When the protection order has been made consequent upon an application under subsection (1) of some person other than the public trustee, that person shall within 24 hours after the making of the protection order serve on the public trustee notice in writing of the making of the protection order.
