Overview of the Accessibility Policy

The following forms must be completed and submitted electronically using MyDSS:

 

  • Notice of execution of the decision-making assistance agreement, by an appointer or decision-making assistant.
  • Application by an appointer and co-decision-maker for the registration of a co-decision-making agreement.
  • Applications by a donor or his or her attorney for the registration of an enduring power of attorney.
  • Applications by an attorney for the notification of an enduring power of attorney.
  • Initial reports and annual reports from a decision-making representative.
  • Initial reports and annual reports from an attorney.
  • Annual reports from a co-decision-maker.
  • Objections relating to the proposed registration of a co-decision-making agreement.
  • Objections relating to the proposed registration or proposed notification of an enduring power of attorney to bring it into effect.

A person who is not able to use MyDSS for any reason and cannot otherwise be supported to use it by another person, or by the staff of the DSS, will not be required to use MyDSS and may make a manual application. 

All reasonable efforts will be made by the DSS to process the manual application without undue delay. However, elements of the manual process including the exchange of correspondence, the creation of unique documentation offline, and the issuing of templates for supporting statements, mean the manual process will, due to its nature, take longer than the digital MyDSS process.

If a person has engaged a professional in relation to the creation and submission to the DSS of any of the forms referred to, they must be completed and submitted electronically by or with the assistance of the professional, using MyDSS.
