Guardianship and Administration Act 2019

A guardian may apply to VCAT for advice on any matter relating to the scope of the guardianship order or the exercise of any power under the order.

After considering an application for advice or on its own initiative, VCAT may—

approve or disapprove of any act proposed to be done by the guardian; and

give advice as it considers appropriate; and

make any order it considers necessary.

An action does not lie against a guardian on account of an act or thing done or omitted to be done by the guardian under any order or on the advice of VCAT made or given under this section unless, in representing the facts to VCAT, the guardian is guilty of fraud, wilful concealment or misrepresentation.
