Increase Community Participation in Planning for End of Life Care

⁠⁠⁠South Eastern NSW PHN invite suitably qualified and experienced organisations to apply to deliver "Increase community participation in planning for end of life care" via an open Request for Proposal (RFP) process.

This Request for Proposal (RFP) seeks responses to develop and implement an initiative to increase community participation in planning for end of life care. It will increase understanding, acceptability and support for advance care planning in the South Eastern NSW region.

Advance care planning is a process by which people make decisions that can guide their future healthcare in circumstances in which they become seriously ill or injured and lose decision capability and are therefore unable to speak for themselves.

The objectives of this initiative are to:
* Increase community awareness of advance care planning
* Increase acceptance in the community of advance care planning
* Enhance confidence of individuals in the process of undertaking advance care planning
* Increase uptake of advance care plans

The initiative will be primarily targeted at the people who may benefit from advance care planning, their families and carers, residing in the South Eastern NSW region.

An information session will be held via webinar on Thursday 28 June at 12 noon EST.
