SUMMARY:Advance care planning for LGBTQIA+ people (webinar)

It is essential that we take proactive steps to have our voices heard\, our identities affirmed\, and that our loved ones are confident to know what we want at end-of-life. \nYour choices matter\, and advance care planning allows you to ensure that your wishes are known and respected. \nFor Advance Care Planning week (17-25 March 2025)\, Southeast Monash Legal Service are joined by Advance Care Planning Australia to deliver this free webinar for LGBTQIA+ people and their loved ones.
