To celebrate Plan Ahead Week 2022, the Office of the Public Advocate is hosting a 3-part webinar - How an Advance Care Directive can work for you. Join us and find out all about Advance Care Directives.

We want you to feel confident about filling out an Advance Care Directive, and a Power of Attorney, and appointing someone you trust to make decisions for you if needed.

This is speaking for yourself and making your wishes clear – taking the time to write down your values and beliefs - the things that are important to you regarding your health, accommodation and personal affairs.

Our aim is to give information, empowering you to go ahead and complete your own documents, as well as providing an opportunity to ask questions about your own “planning ahead” pathway.

Make sure to watch our first webinar about Advance Care Directives.

Upcoming webinars

Part 2 of our How an Advance Care Directive can work for you webinar series will give an overview of Advance Care Directives, show you how to access the form, and outline some things to think about as you plan your own ACD.

This week we will also talk specifically about the instructions in your Advance Care Directive that your substitute decision-maker MUST follow, and the instructions that they must follow as long as it is "reasonably practicable".

If you're a bit unclear on what binding and non-binding provisions are, this one is for you!

As always, there will be time for questions, so we'd love you to join us and find out everything you need to know about Advance Care Directives.
