Medical specialists
Under certain circumstances, inmates may be visited by a medical specialist of their own choice rather than by those contracted to Justice Health and Forensic Mental Health Network.
In such cases, the visiting professional should contact the Manager of Security at the facility where the inmate is located in the first instance.
