What types of decisions are covered under personal welfare matters?

Updated by MSF

In general, a personal welfare Donee helps to make decisions on behalf of the Donor, relating to matters such as where the Donor should stay and his daily activities.

The types of decisions and actions a personal welfare Donee may be authorised to make include:

  • Where the Donor should live,Who the Donor should live with,

  • Day to day care decisions (e.g. What to wear and eat),

  • What social activities to take part in,

  • Handling the Donor’s personal correspondences,

  • Whom the Donor may have contact with.
