…. “I packed up, took my son, and left” No this is not a story from the Ukraine border nor Sierra Leone, nor the 1940’s
“THE LIGHTS ARE ON BUT NO ONE IS HOME” Mum suffers no memory loss, orientation is intact, knows everyone around her, can drive, her language
Your orders (guardianship or otherwise) have been revoked!” Sweet words many wish(and sometimes) hear once orders have been removed and one’s life and decision-making rights
Imagine a stranger, appointed by the State, takes over the decision-making rights of your disabled child. That is, you as a parent have been completely

Who is AASGAA – Australian Association to Stop Guardianship and Administration Abuse.
AASGAA is an incorporated Australian not-for-profit organisation, that provides free lived experiences on guardianship and administration matters.
Guardianship and administration also referred to as trustees, exist in all states and territories in Australia.
Australian Capital Territory (ACT), New South Wales (NSW), Northern Territory (NT), Queensland (Qld), South Australia (SA), Tasmania (Tas), Victoria (Vic), Western Australia (WA).
We highlight and inform Australians about the rights of people victimised under guardianship and administration. We advocate for select people, families, and carers to regain their decision-making back from the State.
We are not against guardianship and administration (trustee).
When state tribunals (who are NOT a court, and do NOT adhere to rules of evidence) get involved, what happens?
Who plays that role:
We are a support group. We share stories, and offer support and information on ways to navigate the unsuspecting pitfalls of public guardianship and public administration (trustees).
We are not aligned with any political parties nor any other government organisations or political movements. We share information and knowledge with well known American groups such as NASGA (National Association to Stop Guardianship Abuse), and spokespersons on behalf of the late Marti Oakley.
Our core members undergo police clearance checks before advocating or supporting vulnerable people on behalf of AASGAA.
When dealing with the vulnerable, AASGAA endeavors to ensure that those assisting are trustworthy, of good character, and free from conflicts of interest.
In other parts of the world, guardianship and administration are referred to differently (i.e conservatorship in the USA) but the core system and abuses are the same.
