An Appointment of Enduring Guardian is a document that operates during your lifetime and allows you to appoint a Guardian who is authorised to manage your health and lifestyle affairs.
Your Guardian can only make decisions on your behalf if and when you are unable to make or communicate your decisions due to ill health.
Your Guardian can make decisions about where you live, what healthcare you receive, which personal services (such as home care or shopping services) you receive. Your Guardian can consent to medical treatments, have access to your medical records and depending on the scope of power you have given them, a Guardian can refuse consent to medical treatment in certain circumstances on your behalf.
You should have an Appointment of Enduring Guardian that sets out who you want to make your decisions on your behalf, and you can include information and directions to your Guardian about your wishes regarding organ donation, medical procedures, and life support.
