Join our dedicated NSW Government agency and make a difference in the lives of over 47,000 people each year.

About the role

The role of a guardian is to understand who the represented person is, what is important to them in their life, and as far as possible, make decisions that they would have made if they had decision-making ability.

Guardians ensure that their customers’ welfare and interests are maintained and seek evidence to support the decision-making process.

As a Guardian you will:

• Consent to medical and dental treatment and health care
• Prepare guardianship related case reports for the Guardianship Division of the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal
• Work with key stakeholder’s such as family members, health professionals and service providers to negotiate appropriate options and positive outcomes for the person.

A talent pool, which is a record of candidates determined as suitable for the role, will be created for current and future ongoing, temporary, full-time, and part-time roles. A talent pool is valid for 18 months and is a great opportunity to be considered for vacancies as they arise.
