End Of Life Planning
Hear from legal experts and learn about your rights as you do end of life planning. Delivered as part of Dying To Know Day .
Knowing your rights when you can’t decide for yourself is an important issue in this day and age.
Join us at West Ryde Library for a Dying To Know series of talks on End of Life planning, with a representative from the Senior Rights’ Service. The speaker will explain what you can and can’t do when you lose your capacity to make your own decison.
During the session, you’ll learn about:
- Who will decide for me if I can’t decide for myself?
- How can I appoint a financial decision maker and a lifestyle decision maker?
- How can I plan ahead so that decisions can be made for me by someone else?
- How can I be sure my decision maker is doing the right thing ?
- Who decides if I have lost my capacity to make decisions?
- What happens if I don’t plan ahead and lose capacity?
Dying to Know Day has been a national day of action, originally on August 8 extending throughout the month of August with hundreds of hosts around Australia holding gatherings aimed to normalise conversations about death, dying and grief, encouraging individuals to learn about, discuss, and plan for their own end-of-life, and to support others in doing the same.
