Mental Capacity
Checklist (pdf)
From time to time those who work for or
support people with a disability are confronted with
situations where the level of a person's
disability may affect his or her ability to make important
decisions. While there should be a
presumption of capacity to make decisions for all people with
a disability there are situations where
an individual's diminished capacity may seriously
undermine his or her interests. The
purpose of this checklist is to assist people like disability
advocates, lawyers, disability & aged
care workers etc to consider all relevant issues if they must
make such an assessment. This checklist
is not meant to replace more comprehensive
assessments by relevant professionals.
