Respecting patient choices program
The respecting patient choices program is a program to support advance care planning. It began in 2002 as a pilot program at the Austin Hospital, Melbourne, funded through the NICS targeted grants program.
Respecting patient choices has since been extended to a number of other hospitals and communities in Victoria. It is in the process of being piloted in other Australian states and territories.
