To give Victorians confidence that their decisions about future medical treatment will be respected if they can't speak for themselves, the Department of Health and Human Services has created standard forms which allow Victorians to:
make an Advance Care Directive which can include an Instructional Directive (which will provide specific directives about treatment a person consents to or refuses) and/or a Values Directive (which will describe a person's views and values)
appoint a medical treatment decision maker (who will make decisions on behalf of a person when they no longer have decision-making capacity).
appoint a support person (who will assist a person to make decisions for themselves, by collecting and interpreting information or assisting the person to communicate their decisions).
