SA celebrates National Advance Care Planning Week

Monday 17th March, 2025

National Advance Care Planning Week: 17 – 23 March 2025

Now is the perfect time to have a conversation with your loved ones and healthcare providers about your future healthcare preferences. Advance care planning ensures that your values, beliefs, and treatment choices are understood and respected—even if you can’t communicate them yourself.

By planning ahead, you provide clarity and peace of mind for yourself and your family. It’s never too early to start thinking about what matters most to you, whether it’s about medical treatment, quality of life, or personal values. Taking these steps now helps ensure your healthcare choices will be honored.

For free advice or a free starter pack, call the National Advance Care Planning Support Service on 1300 208 582 (9 AM – 5 PM AEST/AEDT, Monday to Friday).
