Statewide Office of Advance Care Planning

The Statewide Office of Advance Care Planning is a statewide service (funded by Queensland Health) that helps to promote the important processes of advance care planning. Queensland is the first State/Territory in Australia to have a statewide, standardised clinical approach to receive, review and upload advance care planning documents.

The Statewide Office of Advance Care Planning:

• provides information and resources about advance care planning to the public and health professionals
  
• adds advance care planning documents to the Queensland Health electronic hospital record (The Viewer)
• shares healthcare wishes with doctors involved in a person’s care
• connects people to advance care planning services in their local area.
