Do you have an Advance Care Directive (ACD)? If not, don’t worry, you’re among the 86% of Australians without one. Now is the time for you and your clients and patients to plan for the future.
The Advance Care Directive empowers you, and those you care for, to make clear legal arrangements for future health care, end of life, preferred living arrangements & other personal matters.

Key takeaways:
There may be a time in your life when you can’t make your own decisions. This could be because of a sudden accident or illness.
If this happened, how would you want decisions to be made about your health care? Who would you want to make these decisions for you?
Take the time to complete an Advance Care Directive and make your wishes for future care known.
