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.
