Identify want is wanted for future care.

While the core information on Advance Care Planning that is covered is the same as other workshops that we run, we recognise that some people will feel more comfortable sharing questions and concerns with those in similar circumstances … within a ‘safe space’.
We respectfully ask anyone who does not fit into this group, to not register for this workshop.
Thanks to funding from the WA Department of Health, our workshops are free for anyone living in Western Australia. There is a fee for community members from elsewhere in Australia. We are not able to offer these workshops to international participants.
