An article describing the power of investigation that the Public Guardian of Queensland possesses under the Public Guardian Act, to respond and prevent elder abuse.
The purpose of an investigation is to identify the vulnerable person’s ability to make decisions about the issue, the level of risk, any decision-making arrangements and what possible action is needed to protect the adult. The Public Guardian does not conduct criminal investigations. We will gather information to determine whether the allegations can be substantiated on the balance of probabilities.
