Summary

More than 30 years in the making the Act draws on recommendations for reform to align guardianship and administration law with a contemporary understanding of disability. The Act seeks to fully recognise the dignity, equality and autonomy of persons with a disability.

This presentation will cover significant changes:

* statutory tests

* duties of guardians and administrators

* compensation for loss caused by a guardian or administrator

* supportive guardians and administrators

* offences

* transitional provisions
