How does a VCAT Administration Order work?
A VCAT Administration Order is an order made by a VCAT member formally appointing an Administrator.
This Order can cover the terms of the Administrator's remuneration, their decision-making powers and the duration of the Order. This Order can be limited in nature OR can be applied to the whole of the Represented Person's estate.
VCAT Guardianship
VCAT Guardianship is when VCAT appoints an individual as a 'guardian' to make personal and lifestyle decisions for an adult who, due to a disability, cannot make decisions for themselves. Guardians may need to make decisions about issues such as accommodation, employment, access to services, access to the person and medical treatment.
Our dedicated legal team can provide advice as to the role and decisions of a guardian and represent you in any application for guardianship to VCAT.
