Our guardianship team is unique and addresses unmet need – support and advocacy for an adult who: · has an upcoming hearing at the Guardianship and Administration Tribunal, or; · potentially has a hearing at the Guardianship and Administration Tribunal, or; · wishes to have an order of the Tribunal reviewed, or; · the Tribunal is conducting a review of their order. Our service provides practical support and facilitates maximum participation by the adult during these processes. We work to empower the adult to exercise their basic human rights and to assist them to put forward their views and concerns at hearing. We act within a advocacy framework. Annelise van Deth, Catherine Delaney and Kylie McGrath are our guardianship advocates. We welcome referrals from any interested party – the adult, family member, friend or a service provider. The service also offers education sessions for the community and service providers about our guardianship advocacy division. These sessions can be directly requested by contacting the Brisbane office. Our service is client directed, free and confidential. An interpreter can be arranged where necessary.
