If you lose capacity to make decisions
At some point in the future you may not have capacity to make important medical or legal decisions. Here's what to do before that happens.
Dealing with a life limiting illness can be difficult enough, but there are additional options available to help in managing your affairs.
This could be in case at some point in the future you don't have capacity to make important medical or legal decisions. Options you may want to consider include:
- nominating an Enduring Guardianship, who decides any medical, health and lifestyle matters on your behalf
- appointing an Enduring Power of Attorney, who makes legal and financial decisions in the event you're unable to do so
- creating an Advance Care Directive, which is an official recording of your wishes and values that need to be considered before medical treatment or health care decisions are made on your behalf.
It's not always easy to make these kinds of decisions. Learn more about where to get emotional support.
