You Decide Who Decides is a series of videos that covers each Australian state and territory, and explains important things to think about before making an enduring power for financial decisions.
Financial decisions, big or small, are important for everyone’s wellbeing and security at any time in life, but they are vital as people age.
If you lose the ability to manage your own financial affairs, how will they be handled? Who will decide to pay your bills or choose how your care will be funded?
Making an Advance Personal Plan is an important thing to get right, because it is the document that will outline how you want decisions made about your financial affairs if you can’t make them yourself.
