What is Guardianship?
A guardian is someone appointed by QCAT to make decisions about personal or health matters for a person who cannot make decisions for themselves due to impaired decision-making capacity.
A guardian can make decisions about:
| Living Arrangements: Where you live and who you live with | Services and Support: Support provided to you. Example: NDIS and Centrelink |
| Licenses and Permits: Whether you apply for a license or permit | Daily Life: Regarding your diet, dress, and daily activities |
| Employment: Whether you work, your role and where | Legal Matters: Seeking legal advice (excluding financial and property matters) |
| Social Contacts: Who you have contact with | Health Care: Medical treatments, for physical and mental health (e.g: consent to treatment) |
