Powers of Attorney Act 2014

A person may apply to VCAT for an order under Division 2 as to an enduring power of attorney or a supportive attorney appointment if the person is—

the principal; or

for—

an enduring power of attorney, any attorney under the enduring power of attorney; or

a supportive attorney appointment, any supportive attorney under the supportive attorney appointment; or

the Public Advocate; or

the nearest relative of the principal; or

any other person whom VCAT is satisfied has a special interest in the affairs of the principal.

To avoid doubt, nothing in this Act is to be taken to prevent a person to whom subsection (1) applies from applying to VCAT for an order under Division 2 as to an enduring power of attorney, in circumstances where more than one attorney has been appointed under the enduring power of attorney and it is impractical or impossible for the attorneys under the enduring power of attorney to exercise power in the manner required by the enduring power of attorney or by this Act.
