Make sure people know your future health care preferences
18-24 March is National Advance Care Planning Week.
Have you thought about the care you would like to receive if you become seriously ill?
Advance care planning helps to ensure your health care preferences are known and respected if you can’t speak for yourself.
Regardless of your age or health, it’s never too soon to start the conversation and share what matters most.
- Talk to your family, friends and doctors.
- Write down your health care preferences.
- Choose who you would like to make decisions for you.
- Create your plan.

Let's change aged care, together
Every Australian should feel confident about accessing high quality and safe aged care, when and where they need it.
The changes mean Older people will have greater choice and control, services that respect and meet their needs, and support to stay independent as they age.
