What is a power of attorney? 

Someone else (the attorney) acts on your behalf in matters of money and property. This person may access records where they relate to the attorney’s legal or financial responsibilities pertaining to you, such as your accounting or financial information, legally binding documents and bills. They are authorised to access your aged care records.

What is guardianship? 

An enduring guardian can access records related to your health and lifestyle decisions, such as medical records, care plans, details of medical treatment, and details of lifestyle and accommodation. They are authorised to access your aged care records. 

In the event that you are unable to make decisions about your personal affairs, a guardian may be appointed by a State or Territory Government to act on your behalf. A guardian is generally appointed when, it is found that without an appointed guardian to manage your personal affairs, you pose a significant personal risk to yourself.
