Vic Medical Power of Attorney

Who looks after you, when you can’t? The government? The retirement home? The doctors? Or your family? Should they control your body? Do you trust your family more? If so make a Vic Medical POA. See a Sample of a Victoria Medical POA here.

Our client’s wife was trapped in high-end aged care. She had Alzheimer’s Disease. Our client wanted to get her out. The retirement home said he had no right to touch or move a person. Not even a wife. He rang me in tears. I told him to go home and get the Victorian Medical POA. He got the Medical EPA. He took it to the aged care facility and he got his wife out.

Escape a bad hospital

Our client’s wife was in a Victorian hospital. The doctors were ‘behaving like Gods, not doctors’. Our client presented the Vic Medical POA. And he moved her to another hospital. There was nothing the doctors could do.

The Victorian Medical POA allows you to appoint loved ones. If you lose mental capacity then they decide your:

  • personal lifestyle
  • where you live
  • medical treatment

But only if you can’t make decisions yourself.

A Vic Medical POA is also called:

  • Victorian Enduring Power of Guardianship
  • Vic Enduring Guardianship
  • Victorian Medical Enduring POA
  • Victorian Enduring Power of Attorney (Medical Treatment)
  • Section 5A Medical Treatment Act 1988 Vic Medical POA

What decisions can a Victorian enduring guardian make?

An enduring guardian makes decisions about:

  1. where you live, whether permanently or temporarily
  2. who you will live with
  3. whether you work
  4. consent to medical & dental treatment
  5. protect life or ‘flick the switch when a vegetable’
  6. your education and training
  7. start, defend or settle legal actions
