The Advance Care Planning (ACP) ‘have the conversation’ consumer project is a partnership between Department Of Health And Human Services and the Ethnic Communities’ Council of Victoria (ECCV).
The project was initiated to support the Department of Health and Human Services Advance Care Planning Strategy for Victorian health services 2014-2018. The Advance Care Planning ‘have the conversation’ consumer project aims to increase consumer capacity to engage in discussion around advance care planning at home and within health services.
The project raised awareness of advance care planning among culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. Successful in-depth consultation with the Macedonian and Filipino community ascertained the current understanding of advance care planning in the targeted communities, it identified cultural beliefs and values that needed to be considered when initiating conversations about advance care planning and it developed culturally relevant key messages for each of the communities.
