Advance Care Planning
Partners in Planning promotes the understanding of Advance Care Planning and the creation of Advance Care Directives throughout South Eastern New South Wales, and provides resources designed to empower you to start the conversations and decision-making process.
Advance Care Planning is the process of ensuring your loved ones know what your plans are about your future health care. It can sometimes be difficult to talk about, but it’s a conversation that needs to happen.
What does Partners in Planning do?
Through a series of community events, Partners in Planning provides information and support to you, your family, friends, carers as well as medical and other professionals who are part of the process – to ensure the process of making and maintaining Advance Care Planning becomes a routine part of your healthcare.
How do I access Partners in Planning?
From August to December 2019, the Partners in Planning program is running events in Crookwell, Goulburn, Yass, Cooma, Batemans Bay, Queanbeyan and Bega. The events are open to anyone over the age of 18. You don’t need to book to attend, however booking will assist with catering. See a full list of events or book your spot.
A range of resources have been developed to support the process and to enable you to take the next step in advance care planning.
