Are You Good to Go? Advance Care Planning Week
13 March 2025
Wentworth Healthcare, provider of the Nepean Blue Mountains Primary Health Network, is encouraging everyone, regardless of age or health status, to start thinking about their future healthcare plans this National Advance Care Planning Week which runs from 17 to 23 March 2025.
National Advance Care Planning Week raises awareness about the importance of planning for the future and ensuring that your healthcare and end of life wishes are known and respected. It’s not just for older people - anyone, at any age, can be faced with unexpected illness, injury, or a situation where they can no longer make decisions for themselves.
Wentworth Healthcare CEO, Lizz Reay, emphasised that it's never too early to plan ahead.
“You can never predict when something might happen. No one is immune to accidents, illnesses, or emergencies that could leave you unable to make decisions about your own care. Advance care planning is for everyone, no matter your age or current health.”
“It’s about ensuring that your wishes are known and respected when the time comes, whether that's about your treatment preferences, where you’d like to be cared for, or whether you’d like to be an organ donor,” she said.
