Before a Nova Scotia community treatment order expires, the attending psychiatrist examines the patient and uses this form to renew it for another 180 days. The psychiatrist identifies the original Form 9 by date, numbers the renewal, and confirms the order has demonstrated efficacy and that the person still meets all five criteria from the original order.
The attending psychiatrist completes and signs the renewal in front of a subscribing witness, who signs and prints their name. Under the Act, the patient's substitute decision-maker must consent to the renewal.

Form 10 - Renewal of Community Treatment Order
If your copy of the form is a fillable PDF, upload it once and Vero Documents fills it from the visit note and the chart, ready for you to review and sign. Download, print, or email the finished form, with the patient’s consent.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

There is no limit. Section 52 allows a psychiatrist to renew a community treatment order for 180 days at any time before it expires, provided the order has demonstrated efficacy, the subsection 47(3) criteria continue to exist and the substitute decision-maker consents to the renewal.
Subsection 58(3) deems the person to have applied to the Review Board when the order is renewed and at every second renewal after that, unless an application was made in the preceding 30 days. The renewing psychiatrist notifies the Review Board in writing immediately.
The form's instructions say the date of the original community treatment order is the date Form 9 was signed. The renewal records that date, the current expiry date, the renewal number and the new expiry 180 days after signing.
