An enduring power of attorney authorises someone to manage legal and financial matters during your lifetime, including if you lose decision-making capacity. An appointment of enduring guardian authorises lifestyle, health and medical decisions if you cannot make them yourself. These are separate documents, with different purposes.

Mediation & Dispute Resolution
Family dispute resolution (FDR) is a type of mediation in which an independent accredited practitioner helps separating families discuss issues in dispute and assist the parties in reaching an agreement, without the need for court. Parenting and financial matters have different pre-action requirements. FDR may not be required or appropriate where there is urgency, family violence, child abuse, an inability to participate effectively or another safety concern.
