What is an enduring guardian?

An enduring guardian is a person you appoint to make lifestyle, health and medical decisions for you if you become incapable of directing your own personal affairs.

A guardian has several important responsibilities, including:

• Safeguarding you from harm, including neglect, abuse, or exploitation.
• Engaging with you to consider your preferences and views to the extent your decision-making abilities permit.
• Acting as a strong advocate of your best interests.
• Supporting you in being actively involved in your community to the fullest extent possible.
