Appointment of Medical Treatment Decision Maker

Considering who will make decisions regarding your medical choices, such as choosing whether or not to undergo certain minor surgeries or which aged care facility you are to be placed in, is an important decision to make.

Drafting an Appointment of Medical Treatment Decision Maker document can ensure that the person who is making those decisions, is someone you have selected yourself.

Further, it is a common misconception that a next of kin will be able to make these types of decisions. Whilst this is often the case, there are some decisions and processes which require an individual to be your attorney or guardian in order to make those decisions on your behalf.
