The authorised medical officer must arrange for the person to be
examined by another medical practitioner as soon as possible
after giving the certificate in step 1. If the first authorised medical
officer is not a psychiatrist then the second examiner must be a
psychiatrist. The second examiner must notify the authorised
medical officer of their opinion that the person is mentally
disordered or mentally ill or if they are unable to form such an
opinion.
3. Examination by third medical practitioner if second
examiner does not find person to be mentally disordered or
mentally ill

mentally disordered or mentally-ill the medical officer must
arrange assessment by a third medical practitioner who is a
,psychiatrist, as soon as practicable. The third examiner must
notify the medical officer if of opinion that the person is a mentally
ill person or a mentally disordered person. If the third examiner
does not find that the person is a mentally ill person or a mentally
disordered person, the person must not be detained after the third
examination.

Tribunal and bring the person before the Tribunal for a mental
health inquiry as soon as practicable after admission.
