Our vision

We aim to promote and improve advance care planning for all Australians.

Our vision is for people to:

  • have a say in their future health care
  • record and share their wishes and preferences
  • be heard by their care providers
  • have their wishes and preferences respected.

We want people to get the care that aligns with their wishes and preferences.

Our objectives

We aim to:

  • help everyone understand advance care planning and improve participation
  • educate the health and aged care workforce about advance care planning
  • improve the systems that support advance care planning
  • build and share knowledge through research and evidence.

Our team

We offer help and support with all advance care planning matters.

We're an Australian Government initiative administered by Brisbane South Palliative Care Collaborative at Metro South Health.
