Guardianship and Administration Act

The Guardianship and Administration Act 2019 is a law designed to protect the rights and welfare of individuals who may be unable to make decisions for themselves due to incapacity. It establishes a legal framework for appointing guardians or administrators to make decisions about personal, health, or financial matters on behalf of those individuals. The Act emphasizes respecting their rights and ensuring decisions are made in their best interest, while also promoting their independence and involvement in decision-making whenever possible. This framework balances protection with the dignity and preferences of those affected.
