Choose an adult you trust who will respect and follow your wishes, such as a friend or family member. They should be someone who can speak up for you, make decisions with confidence, and work well with doctors and your loved ones. Your enduring guardian must agree to take on the role and sign the document.

You cannot appoint the Public Trustee, the Public Guardian, or anyone involved in your medical care (such as your doctor).

Your enduring guardian makes personal and medical decisions for you if you are unable to, including:

• Where you live
• Your health care and treatment
• Support services you receive
• Who you see and spend time with

You can appoint one enduring guardian or more than one to act together. You can also choose a backup enduring guardian in case your first choice cannot act.
