Advance Care Planning Resources

Advance Care Planning is about thinking ahead and making your preferences for future health care known. It ensures that if there comes a time when you can’t speak for yourself, the people around you, your family, carers and health professionals, understand what matters most to you and can make decisions that reflect your wishes. It is not just for older people or those who are unwell. It is relevant at any stage of life.

This section brings together trusted resources to help you start the conversation, document your choices, and take practical steps. From understanding treatment options to appointing a substitute decision-maker and completing an Advance Care Directive, these tools are designed to make the process clear, accessible and manageable. Taking action now reduces uncertainty later and gives both you and your loved ones greater confidence in what lies ahead.
