Advance care planning

Advance care planning helps your healthcare team and loved ones to make important medical decisions.

Sharing your wishes means that if there is a time you can’t communicate, they can give you the care you want.

About advance care planning

Advance care planning includes:

• thinking about your values, beliefs and health goals
• choosing someone to speak on your behalf if you can’t
• making sure you have a say in your own healthcare.

Organising an Advance Care Plan

The ACT Advance Care Planning team can help you to organise an Advance Care Plan.
