NSW Office of the Public Guardian
The Office of the Public Guardian exists to promote the rights and interests of people with disabilities through the practice of guardianship, advocacy and education. The Guardianship Tribunal appoints the NSW Public Guardian as guardian of last resort and the Public Guardian then acts as a substitute decision-maker for people under her guardianship. The Office is part of the NSW Attorney General’s Department. More>>
