Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) If the administrator of the authorised mental health service is reasonably satisfied the seized thing is a harmful thing, the administrator must—
(a) keep it for the patient and give it to the patient on the patient's release from the health service; or
(b) give it to someone else if the patient is able to, and has given, agreement to do so; or
(c) if the administrator is satisfied someone else is entitled to possession of the thing—give or send it to the person; or
(d) if the administrator is reasonably satisfied it is of negligible value—dispose of it in the way the administrator considers appropriate.
(2) However, if the administrator reasonably believes the seized thing is connected with, or is evidence of, the commission or intended commission of an offence against an Act, the administrator must give it to an authorised person under that Act.
(3) The seizure provisions of the Act mentioned in subsection (2) apply to the thing as if the authorised person had seized it under the provisions of the Act that relate to the offence.
(4) If the authorised person is not reasonably satisfied the thing is evidence of the commission or intended commission of the offence, the authorised person must return it to the administrator who must deal with it under this section.
(5) Immediately after making a decision about what happens to a seized thing, the administrator must make a written record of the decision.
