6. Ongoing health care

I will be helped to access ongoing health care when I leave custody, for as long as I need it.

Planning for your release will include making sure you continue to receive any health or medical care you need when you leave custody.

You should be given any medications you need before you leave custody so you do not run out.

The health team in custody should organise this for you and make sure you know where to go for medical treatment and support.

They should also help you register with a doctor and pass on information about your health needs to anyone who needs to know (with your permission).
