Aged care laws in Australia have now changed. The new Aged Care Act 2024 and Aged Care Rules 2025 now apply. While we complete updating of our website, including draft guidance and other materials, to align with the new laws, providers are advised to refer to the new Act and Rules for any required clarification of their obligations and legal responsibilities. Thank you for your patience.

Advance Care Planning Storyboard and user guide

Publication date

To support the aged care sector, the Commission has developed a range of storyboards that are designed to illustrate key behaviours and priority issues. The storyboards are particularly helpful in supporting people whose English or literacy levels may be a barrier when it comes to accessing content and are relevant to all providers and consumers, their families and representatives across the aged care sector. 

Advance Care Planning – Don’t Leave it Too Late

Advance Care Planning is the process of thinking, planning and documenting your choices so you can live well right up to the end of life.

This storyboard is designed to explain why advance care planning is important. It includes information about the steps you should take to ensure your wishes are known by both your family, carers and any health professionals.
