Have you thought about who would speak for you if you couldn’t?
This Advance Care Planning Week, we’re encouraging people to think about what matters most and how their healthcare choices can be respected in the future.
As an organisation working closely with older people and families, we know how important it is for individuals to have their wishes understood and respected. Advance care planning helps ensure your values guide your future healthcare if there comes a time when you can’t speak for yourself.

This week marks Neurodiversity Celebration Week, a time to recognise and celebrate the diversity of how people think, learn and experience the world.
At Hunter Primary Care, many of the individuals and families we support are neurodiverse. Through our Psychological Assessments service, our clinicians work alongside clients to better understand their unique strengths, challenges and support needs. Assessments can be an important step in helping people access the right supports at school, work and in everyday life, and in fostering greater understanding for individuals and their families.
During Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we acknowledge and celebrate the many different ways people experience and navigate the world, and the importance of creating communities that recognise and support those differences.
