    Investigations

    Under s 28 of the Guardianship and Administration Act 1993 (SA), SACAT can direct the Public Advocate to investigate and prepare a written report on the affairs of a person

    • who is the subject of an application before the Tribunal, or
    • who has had an advance care directive revoked by the Tribunal under the Advance Care Directives Act 2013 (SA).

    A report prepared under s 28 will usually include the wishes and preferences of the person with a mental incapacity. The report can help ensure SACAT has all of the information it needs to make the most appropriate decision, and is particularly useful in complex or difficult cases.
