Source: Victoria. Attorney General. Media Release
"A major review of guardianship and administration laws will ensure vulnerable Victorians continue to have their rights fully protected, Deputy Premier and Attorney-General Rob Hulls said. The Brumby Labor Government has referred the Guardianship and Administration Act 1986 for review by the Victorian Law Reform Commission. Mr Hulls said he had asked the Commission to review and report on potential changes that considered the human rights of people with impaired decision-making capacity, developments in policy and practice in the area, and changes in Victoria’s demographics which mean more and more people will require guardians in the future."
