AGAC / IGN World Congress on Adult
Guardianship 2012
Guardianship and the United
Nations Disabilities Convention:
Australian and International Perspectives
Bringing together Australian and International experts in
the ageing, disability and guardianship fields, this
conference will consider the effect of the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on
national and international guardianship laws and practices.
The conference will provide an opportunity to assess the
impact of the Convention in reforming Australian and
International guardianship laws and practices six years
after its adoption by the UN General Assembly and four years
after ratification by Australia.
Your hosts will be the
Australian
Guardianship and Administration Council (AGAC), whose
members are the key state and territory guardianship
authorities and institutions (members include public
advocates, public and adult guardians, public and state
trustees, and boards and tribunals with guardianship
jurisdictions). The conference is being developed in
association with the International Guardianship Network (IGN).
The conference venue is the Hilton on the Park. It is
located directly opposite Melbourne Cricket Ground and the
Fitzroy Gardens.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Melbourne! |
