2025 Advance Care Planning Prevalence Study just released

Advance Care Planning Australia has released the key findings from its 2025 Advance Care Planning Prevalence Study, a landmark national report highlighting the current state of advance care planning in Australia.

The findings show that advance care planning is still not embedded as a routine part of basic health care. Many Australians are missing vital opportunities to document and communicate their preferences for future care, leaving health professionals without clear guidance during critical moments.

This is the first national study to take a contemporary, holistic approach, extending beyond documentation to examine conversations with loved ones, the appointment of substitute decision-makers, and the attitudes and motivations that influence participation.
