Renewal: Putting Rights Into Practice
2022 Australian Guardianship & Administration Council Conference20 - 21 October 2022

PULLMAN MELBOURNE ALBERT PARK | AUSTRALIA | ONLINE

Thank you for attending the Australian Guardianship and Administration Council’s conference.

The Australian Guardianship and Administration Council (AGAC) is the national peak body for Australia’s Public Advocates, Public Guardians, Public or State Trustees and the heads of State and Territory adult guardianship tribunal lists.

We were excited to have the 2022 AGAC conference hosted in Melbourne as well as having an online component.

The theme of the 2022 conference was Renewal: Putting rights into practice. The organising committee put together a rich program that featured presentations on a variety of topics that informed us about, and prodded us to think and talk about, the ways that the rights of people with cognitive disability are being implemented, and the work that still needs to be done in this regard.

The 2022 keynote and panel presentations explored the following important topics:

  • Financial elder abuse
  • People with acquired brain injuries and the criminal justice system
  • Deprivations of liberty of people with disability
  • Supported decision-making developments
  • The changing nature of adult guardianship
  • The performance of the NDIS in relation to hard-to-reach groups
  • Indigenous perspectives on guardianship and advance planning
  • Modern adult safeguarding developments
  • Aged care after the Royal Commission
  • Enduring powers of attorney reforms.

Thank you again for joining us in Melbourne (or online) on October 20th and 21st.

See you next time!
