Guardianship Abuse in Australia

The Guardianship Board of any state or country has been mandated by law to help protect the vulnerable seniors. Unfortunately, there have been so many cases of mismanagement, fraud and acts of injustice perpetrated by these so called “protectors of the elderly” that it is beyond belief.

In the USA, many family members of those who experienced this sort of abuses, had to resort to putting up a web site to tell their experiences. There is even a National Association to Stop Guardian Abuse.

Media do not find this sort of cases “sexy” enough to want to write about.

There are no Guardianship Abuse in Australia?

WRONG! It is just that the country do not want to acknowledge that such cases exist in their sunny country.
