Have your say on the NT Advance Personal Plan

The Public Guardian and Trustee is seeking feedback on a new draft Advance Personal Plan form and guide that have been designed to be simpler, clearer and easier to use.

An Advance Personal Plan helps you record what matters to you and what decisions you would want made if you became unable to make some decisions for yourself due to illness, injury or other circumstances.

It can help your family, doctors and other people supporting you understand your wishes.

With an Advance Personal Plan, you can:

• record what is important to you
• outline your preferences for future decisions about your personal and health matters
• choose people you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you cannot make them yourself.

We want to make advance personal planning easier for all Territorians. That's why we've developed a new draft form and guide and are inviting the community to help us improve them.

You don't need any special knowledge or experience to provide feedback. We're interested in hearing from people who may use these documents, as well as family members, carers and anyone interested in planning ahead.

We would like to know:

• Is the information easy to understand?
• Is the form easy to complete?
• Is there anything that is unclear, confusing or missing?
• How could we make it better?

Your feedback will help shape the final Advance Personal Plan form and guide before they are made available to the public.

Review the draft documents and complete the survey to have your say.
