South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated ActsSchedule 3—Transitional provisions
(1) Despite the repeal
of the Natural Death Act 1983 , a direction made under that Act remains
effective, subject to revocation or amendment by the person who made it, as a
statement of that person's desire not to be subjected to extraordinary
measures as defined in that Act to prolong life if suffering from a terminal
illness.
(2) If before the
commencement of this Act a person granted an enduring power of attorney and
purported to confer on the agent power to decide questions about the medical
treatment of the grantor of the power in the event of the grantor's incapacity
to do so, that power of attorney is as valid and effective as if it had been
made under this Act.
