Advance Health Directive consultation
Planning for your future healthcare:
Help shape the guide to the updated WA Advance Health Directive form
The End-of-Life Care Program is seeking input into the development of a guide to accompany the revised WA Advance Health Directive (AHD). The AHD Guide will instruct people on how to complete the new AHD.
Community consultation about the development of the new AHD Guide will occur from 31 January 2022 to 18 February 2022. Anyone with an interest or involvement in advance care planning is invited to participate.
An AHD is a legal document that enables an individual to make decisions about their future health treatments and end of life care. The new AHD Form and Guide are being developed following the recommendations from the My Life My Choice report (external site) and the subsequent Ministerial Expert Panel Report on Advance Health Directives (external site).
The new AHD Form and Guide are due to be released in 2022.
