Advance Care Planning

Advance Care Planning Process

Advance care planning is a simple process that you can start today. It involves thinking about your values, beliefs and preferences for your future health and care while you are still able to make decisions and communicate your preferences and acceptable outcomes. It also involves discussing them with your loved ones and doctors, and documenting them.Learn more

Starting the Conversation

Starting the conversation about advance care planning is an important first step in ensuring a person's preferences for future care are known and respected. If a person's preferences are not known, doctors may use aggressive treatments that the person might not have wanted - and families may feel burdened by the worry that they will make a wrong choice.Learn more

Trauma & Aged Care

For Families & Carers

Many older people have experienced trauma at some point, whether recently or in the past. It can be more difficult for them to manage trauma, if they’re also experiencing loss, grief, or dementia.Learn more

For Workforce

Working in aged care can be rewarding but also difficult, particularly if the people in your care have experienced trauma. There are simple things you can do to help an older person affected by trauma feel safe and get the help that they need, while also supporting your own wellbeing.Learn more

For Managers

The majority of people in aged care have experienced trauma, loss and/or grief at some point in their lives, which can impact both residents and staff. Our resources provide a person-centred approach that can build a sense of safety, control and empowerment for the trauma-affected individual, and help your staff look after their own wellbeing.Learn more
