An administrator under the Guardianship and Administration Act 2000 (Qld) must be able to demonstrate that it analysed and assessed reasonable alternative courses of action and their financial consequences before making significant financial decisions, and must actively seek the views of the adult and their support network in accordance with General Principle 7.
