Decision-Making Representative
The Role of a Decision-Making Representative A decision-making representative is a person appointed by the court to make specific decision(s) on behalf of a person (‘relevant person’) in relation to their personal welfare or property and affairs or both. When a person does not have a suitable person who can act as their decision-making representative, the court may ask the DSS to nominate two or more panel members from the Panel to be appointed as decision- making representative. The court may appoint from the nominees put forward, one or more than one panel member to be decision-making representative for the relevant person. Following appointment to the Panel, a panel member will be required to provide a resume of their skills, expertise and experience in a prescribed form. The DSS provide this resume to the court for consideration for the appointment of a decision-making representative. The DSS will contact the panel member before submitting this information to the court, to confirm the panel member’s availability for that specific case and ensure no conflicts of interest exist.
