Advance Care Planning Program Officer

Advance Care Planning promotes care that is consistent with a person's goals, values, beliefs, and preferences. It prepares the person and others to plan for future health care, for a time when the person may no longer be able to communicate those decisions themselves.

Effective planning is the best way to ensure that family and health professionals respect a person's wishes. In an emergency situation it provides hospital treating teams with the necessary information to make decisions in the patient's best interest in consultation with their chosen attorneys.

The Advance Care Planning Team is responsible for the implementation of a proactive approach to advance care planning across the ACT. This includes assistance with having the conversation, documenting wishes, training and education and quality improvement activities with key stakeholders.
