Imagine a future where your voice is no longer heard. Who would speak for you if you couldn’t speak for yourself? What would they say?

This Plan Ahead Week invites you to think about your financial, health, legal and personal wishes and how you can make sure they’re known and respected.

Accidents, illness or death can happen at any time so it’s important to talk to your family and loved ones about your wishes and document them.

Use Plan Ahead Week to speak for yourself – you’ll find information about how to create an Advance Care Directive, Enduring Power of Attorney, organ and tissue donation registration, and a Will on the Plan Ahead website.

Making your wishes known in advance can help reduce family stress and conflict during times of crisis.

Visit the Plan Ahead website to find out how to access and complete the legal tools, find helpful resources and local information sessions supported by Office for Ageing Well and Health Service Programs, SA Health that will provide you with the information required to complete your Advance Care Directive.

Don’t leave your future to chance. Speak for yourself. Make your wishes clear and protect against abuse.
