if that is the case you can make an application for guardianship and financial management to VCAT.
http://www.vcat.vic.gov.au/CA256DBB0022825D/page/Guardianship+and+Admin-Applications?OpenDocument&1=60-Guardianship+and+Admin~&2=10-Applications~&3=~
You will need to have a Doctors report to support the application. If you wish to be appointed as guardian then you can apply. If you wish the Trustee to be appointed then you seek that order.
I hope this is of assistance
