Office of the Public Guardian - Community Visiting and Advocacy
Service Description
Community Visitors conduct regular visits to visitable locations to make inquiries and observations about the standard of care being provided to adults with impaired decision making ability. Community Visitors advocate on behalf of people staying at the visitable location to resolve any concerns or issues and can also assist them to make complaints. Visitable locations include disability accommodation that is funded by Department of Communities or NDIS, Authorised Mental Health Services, Community Care Units, and level three supported accommodation. A visit can be requested by a person staying at a visitable location or someone on their behalf
