Advance Care Plans vs Advance Care Directives

When someone is diagnosed with a life-limiting condition, knowing the difference between these two can make a big impact on future care.

We acknowledge and pay respects to the traditional owners of the lands on which MPHN operates; the Wiradjuri, Nari Nari, Wemba Wemba, Perepa Perepa, Yorta Yorta, Ngunnawal, Ngarigo, Bangerang and Yitha Yitha Nations. We recognise our communities are made up of many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples descended from additional mobs and clans who also call the Murrumbidgee region home. 

We pay respect to elders past, present and future and recognise these lands have always been places of traditional healing and medicine, and this plays a role in shaping future health services.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website contains images, voices and names of deceased persons.

Fostering a welcoming and inclusive space for the rainbow community.
