YOUR OBLIGATIONS
"The Advance Care Planning Implementation Guide for Aged Care has been developed to reduce the complexity and provide aged care providers with the tools to implement advance care planning in accordance with the Aged Care Quality Standards and legal and ethical frameworks. The guide also provides guidance on the systems, processes and governance required to ensure robust implementation in aged care settings. Advance care planning is just a small component of a broader suite of aged care reform. But it’s critical we get this right. When done well, advance care planning can help people live well and on their own terms, confident their choices will be respected and implemented. To deliver on this will require all of us involved in the care of older Australians, to move beyond checking a ‘tick box’ on a form. Instead we will help create an environment that empowers people to have an enduring voice in the care that they receive. It is after all the standard of care we would want for our loved ones and ourselves."'
