Capacity, decision making and ageing

Overview

https://research.qut.edu.au/achlr/https://research.qut.edu.au/achlr/

Dr Kelly Purser is interested in supervising students who wish to undertake research about capacity, substitute decision making and ageing, including how and when capacity is determined, and by whom. As people age they may not retain the capacity to be able to make legally recognised decisions giving rise to questions around who can determine what happens when someone can no longer make their own decisions, how and when this should be determined as well as what is the outcome of such a determination. Please contact the supervisor if you are interested in undertaking a PhD in this area. This topic is led by the QUT School of Law within the Planning for Healthy Ageing research group.
