2nd World Congress on Adult Guardianship, Guardianship and the United
Nations Disabilities Convention: Australian and International Perspectives,
Melbourne, Australia: 15-16 October 2012
Hilton on the Park Hotel, Melbourne
Bringing together Australian and International experts in the ageing,
disability and guardianship fields, this congress will consider the effect
of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
on national and international guardianship laws and practices. The congress
will provide an opportunity to assess the impact of the Convention in
reforming Australian and International guardianship laws and practices six
years after its adoption by the UN General Assembly and four years after
ratification by Australia.
Your hosts will be the Australian Guardianship and Administration Council
(AGAC), whose members are the key state and territory guardianship
authorities and institutions (members include public advocates, public and
adult guardians, public and state trustees, and boards and tribunals with
guardianship jurisdictions). The congress is being developed in association
with the International Guardianship Network (IGN).
