How to apply
Contact the Tribunal Registry and request that an application kit be mailed or faxed to you or download and print the application kit, or email your request for an application kit to guardianship@justice.qld.gov.au.
Before you submit an application, there must be a specific need for such an appointment. In other words, you must show that the existing arrangements are inadequate:
- You should notify the adult concerned about what you intend to do
- You must check whether the adult has given anyone power under an enduring document such as an Enduring Power of Attorney or an Advance Health Directive. Before you submit the application you should advise the person appointed by the adult under the enduring document about what you intend to do.
- You must give the names and contact details of anyone else concerned
- If you are not proposing yourself as guardian or administrator, you must ask the person you have nominated to sign the section of the form called ‘Advice of appropriateness and competence’.
When you lodge your application form with the Tribunal Registry, you are also required to lodge supporting documents such as reports from health professionals and be able to demonstrate that there is a specific need for an appointment.
There is no cost associated with making an application. There are costs incurred by parties if they participate in hearings by telephone or videoconference. If you are required to attend a hearing by telephone or videoconference, a Registry Officer can advise of the costs involved.
