Supportive/Substitute Decision-making and Capacity in Victoria: Compliance with Australia's Obligations under the
1Geriatrician, Bundoora Specialist Health Care.
Abstract:
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) restates human rights through the lens of disability. One of the key rights relates to equality before the law. This has been interpreted as requiring the abolition of substitute decision-making regimes. As a signatory, Australia has agreed to implement the rights set out in the CRPD. In Australia, the laws relating to substitute decision-making and legal capacity vary from State to State. This article examines how the laws in Victoria compare to Australia's CRPD obligations and, hence, whether Victoria is compliant with or in breach of the CRPD. It concludes that, while on the surface Victoria is in breach of Australia's CRPD obligations, Victorian legislation is making significant efforts to operationalise a human rights approach to decision-making.
