Season 2 Ep. 31 Guardianship applications in QCAT

In this week’s episode, Lidia discusses guardianship applications in the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT)—a legal process that becomes necessary when an adult loses capacity and there is no valid Enduring Power of Attorney in place. The episode explores the circumstances that might lead to a guardianship application, the distinction between a guardian and a financial administrator, and how QCAT assesses who should be appointed to make personal and health-related decisions on behalf of a loved one. Whether you're a family member navigating this process or simply planning ahead, Lidia offers clear guidance on how to approach this sensitive area of law with empathy and legal certainty.
