Hazel* had been supported by the Public Trustee through an Administration Order for over 10 years. Her mental health was improving, she had completed education courses and she maintained employment. Hazel and her Client Account Manager (CAM) discussed her desire to become financially independent.
With the support of the Financial Independence Pathway, Hazel took greater control over her financial matters. As her confidence grew, she applied to the Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (TASCAT) to revoke her administration order. Hazel was supported in obtaining medical reports, and at the TASCAT hearing, she demonstrated her capability to manage her own finances independently.
We are thrilled that her appointment was revoked. Hazel’s progress has been impressive, and we’re proud to have supported her in achieving this milestone.
