New website to plan ahead

25 Jan 2012

The Department of Attorney General and Justice has developed a new website with information and tools for advance care planning, as well as future legal and asset decisions. It includes information for health professionals as well as patients and families.For Individuals
We all hope to make our own decisions about our lives. However, illness or accidents could mean that we need to rely on other people to make decisions about our welfare, finances or medical treatment.
As part of general life planning, it makes sense for all of us to make a Will, Power of Attorney or to appoint an Enduring Guardian.
Planning Ahead Tools has information and resources about how your wishes can be carried out and how to plan for the future.

For Professionals
Planning Ahead Tools is a central point for information about life planning instruments. The website has information, resources and educational material that you can use to assist people to plan ahead.

The ageing population and increase in people living with decision making disabilities has put a strong focus on planning ahead. Encouraging individuals to plan ahead is an important way to promote positive ageing, prevent legal problems and empower people to manage their own futures.
