NSW Trustee and Guardian news and stories

Over the King’s Birthday public holiday weekend, there will be some changes to our opening hours and payment dates for financially managed customers.

Today, Monday 26 May, is National Sorry Day. NSW Trustee and Guardian acknowledges the ongoing strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – including Stolen Generations survivors, their descendants and their communities. 

NSW Trustee and Guardian upgraded our Wills and Estate Planning booking system on Monday 12 May.

Starting your Wills and estate planning journey can be daunting, but it's an important step in safeguarding your children's future.

  As a private guardian in NSW, you’ll likely attend an NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) review hearing towards the end of your appointment. NCAT reviews all guardianship orders before their expiry and decides whether they should be renewed, changed, or allowed to lapse.

  We spoke with Bernard and his wife Helen about their experiences acting as a private guardian for a close family friend. 

    Naomi Green, Assistant Public Guardian Practice Advocacy and Strategy, met with Elena Katrakis, CEO of Carers NSW, to chat about all things carers and to discuss the intersection of the roles played by carers and private guardians.  

In celebration of International Women’s Day this week, we are thrilled to introduce Catherine Turnbull as our new NSW Public Guardian.

Navigating the world of Wills and Estate Planning can be confusing. You may have heard the terms Beneficiary, Executor, Administrator and Trustee but do you know what they mean? 

  NSW Trustee and Guardian recommend you update and review your Will throughout your life as having an outdated Will can have unintended consequences.
