The Truth About Ageing

E52 - When You Don't Have Future Planning Documents with Social Worker Tamara


Listen Later

In today's episode of the podcast we're talking all about future planning documents and what happens if you don't have them in place when they're needed. There are a number of Government organisations in place to protect those vulnerable persons who may not have family or decision makers available to assist when they lose capacity themselves. Today we discuss:

  • How 'capacity' is determined?
  • Who can be substitute decision makers?
  • What the Public Trustee, Office of the Public Advocate and Cival & Administrative Tribunals are and when they're utilised?
  • How to avoid getting to a crisis where these services are required?
  • How to access them if they are required?
