Abstract

This article outlines the Queensland Law Reform Commission's review of Queensland Guardianship law. The present provisions on guardianship are complex, administered by separate government departments and offer little by way of scope as to the extent of powers which may be given to a substitute decision‐maker. The Commission recommends the adoption of a new scheme, whose underpinning philosophy is that outside intervention should be kept to a minimum and should only occur when the decision‐making needs of the affected person cannot be met in any less intrusive way.
