Let’s Talk: Advance Care Planning with Elders

  • AEST (VIC Time) Online (map)

Aunty Vicki Walker has developed an Advance Care Planning booklet to support Elders to document their wishes and preferences. 

Join Aunty Vick as she takes you through the booklet and shares practical tips for using it in social support group and one-to-one settings. 

You’ll learn how the booklet can support conversations about future care, decision-making and personal values. While it was developed to support Aboriginal Elders, the booklet could also be used with older people more broadly who want to document their preferences.

What’s in the session

In just one hour, you’ll gain an overview of:  

  • Appointing and documenting a Medical Treatment Decision Maker 

  • Recording a Values Directive 

  • An introduction to an Instructional Directive 

  • Guidance on how to use the booklet with Elders 

  • Practical examples and common reporting scenarios 

Bring your questions – there’ll be time for discussion. 

Who should attend? 

This session is for people working with Elders in CHSP and Support at Home-funded aged care. It will be especially useful for people working in social support groups.

Presented by  

Aunty Vicki Walker – First Nations Advisor
