Office of the Public Advocate SA

South Australia's Office of the Public Advocate promotes the rights and interests of people who need assistance with decision making. Its website provides guardianship information, advocacy resources, dispute resolution information and factsheets. Other resources address advance care directives, informal arrangements and consent to medical treatment.

Adelaide residents, families and supporters can choose the resource for the decision or arrangement involved. Guardianship, supported decisions and other planning arrangements serve different purposes. The official information and enquiry routes help visitors understand the office's role and find resources relevant to the person's circumstances.
