A supportive guardianship order or supportive administration order confers on the person appointed as supportive guardian or supportive administrator, as the case requires, one or more of the following powers listed in this subsection and specified in the order—

a power to access, collect or obtain information, or to assist the supported person to access, collect or obtain information, in accordance with section 91;

a power to communicate certain information about the supported person with others, in accordance with section 92(a);

a power to communicate decisions made by the supported person, or to assist the supported person in communicating these decisions in accordance with section 92(b);

a power to take any reasonable action or do anything that is reasonably necessary to give effect to certain decisions in accordance with section 93(1).

For the purposes of subsection (1), VCAT may only specify a power if VCAT is satisfied that the power will ensure that the supportive guardian or supportive administrator can give practicable and appropriate support to the supported person to enable that person to have decision-making capacity in relation to the relevant personal matters or financial matters.
