ACPA (Advanced Care Planning Australia)

Advanced Care Planning Australia (ACPA) is an initiative that helps individuals make informed decisions about their future healthcare preferences. It encourages people to think about their values and goals, particularly in situations where they may be unable to express their wishes due to illness or injury. ACPA provides resources and guidance on creating advance care plans, which document a person’s healthcare wishes and can include appointing a trusted decision-maker. This process ensures that individuals receive care aligned with their desires and alleviates the burden on family members during difficult times.
