End Of Life Planning

Dying with Dignity Tasmania supports the right of everyone to express their end-of-life wishes and to have them respected.

We encourage everyone to undertake advance care and end-of-life planning, and to ensure that those close to you know what you would prefer in different health and life circumstances.

We recommend appointing an Enduring Guardian, who can speak for you and carry out your wishes, if you are unable to do so. Forms may be obtained from Service Tasmania, or the Tasmanian Civil and Administration Tribunal by phoning 1800 657 500, or from their website. We also recommend completing written instructions in the form of an Advance Care Directive.
