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. Panel Member Nominee Attendance in Court ● The court may request the panel members (two or more) nominated by the DSS from the Panel to attend court in-person or on-line for selection for appointment as decision-making representative. ● The nominee selected for appointment by the court will be required to attend court in-person or on-line. ● The nominee selected for appointment must attend court to sign a statement to confirm that they understand and will undertake the powers and duties conferred in the court order and will comply with the guiding principles. ● Panel members are not entitled to reimbursement of any costs incurred as a result of attending court in the above scenarios.
