The Guardianship Tribunal is a specialist court of justice dealing with financial management and guardianship matters. They can also review Power of Attorney. They have concurrent jurisdiction with the Supreme Court of NSW, co-operating with equal authority.
The Guardianship Tribunal is a “no cost” jurisdiction. It has a much lower degree of formality than most courts. The rules of evidence are not strictly applied and the hearings are more “inquisitorial” than the more common adversarial nature of many courts.
