61DAA  Effect of parenting order that provides for joint decision‑making about major long‑term issues

 (1) If a parenting order provides for joint decision‑making by persons in relation to all or specified major long‑term issues in relation to a child, then, except to the extent the order otherwise specifies, the order is taken to require each of the persons:
 (a) to consult each other person in relation to each such decision; and
 (b) to make a genuine effort to come to a joint decision.

 (2) To avoid doubt, this section does not require any other person to establish, before acting on a decision about the child communicated by one of those persons, that the decision has been made jointly.
