Adult decision-making capacity

Alzheimers NZ Lived Experience Advisory Group Chair Fiona Parrant and Te Aka Matua o te Ture Law Commissioner Geof Shirtcliffe explore the Law Commission’s recent review of the adult decision-making capacity law. 

We believe people with dementia have the right to make their own decisions with the appropriate level of support needed for them to do so. Find out more about the review, why it is so important and what it means in real life. 

You can read the review of adult decision-making capacity law report and the Dementia Declaration online.
