Advance Care Planning Workshops
We all want to have a say in what happens in the last part of our lives. By making plans that cover your future care, lifestyle, health and finances, you’re not only working out what you want, you are also making things easier on those around you. This process is called Advance Care Planning.
More than 80% of Australians think it’s important to put our end-of-life care preferences into writing, but less than 5% of us have completed advance care plans. It’s important to start advance care planning early in life when you can speak and decide for yourself. As things change in your personal situation, health or lifestyle, you can go back and review your choices and, if needed, make changes to your documentation. Some of the tools and documents for Advance Care Planning in WA include:
- values and preferences form
- making a will
- organ and tissue donation
- Enduring Power of Attorney
- Enduring Power of Guardianship
- Advance Health Directive.
These workshops will cover information on what’s involved in Advance Care Planning, how to get started, and how to talk about your wishes for the last stage of your life with your family, loved ones and health care providers.
