2nd 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
congress 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 congress 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 congress is being developed in
association with the International Guardianship Network (IGN).
The congress venue is the Hilton on the Park. It is
located directly opposite Melbourne Cricket Ground and the
Fitzroy Gardens.
