The introduction of the Aged Care Quality Standards has placed greater emphasis on choice and control in decision making for older Australians, underscoring the importance of advance care planning.
Our updated ACP Aged Care Implementation Guide provides a comprehensive road map to implement advance care planning in aged care. Our guide helps aged care providers to implement advance care planning in compliance with the National Aged Care Standards, as well as legal and ethical frameworks.
The guide also explains why advance care planning and advance care directives are important and provides guidance on the systems and governance required to ensure robust implementation in aged care.
