Substitute Decision-Making in Australia

At Opal HealthCare, we’re committed to safeguarding the fundamental human right of older Australians to continue making their own decisions about their health, finances and life. 

An important part of this commitment is supporting our residents to formally appoint trusted people (substitute decisionmakers) to make decisions on their behalf, should they become unable to make decisions for themselves.
