Expected outcomes

The Advance Project aims to enable better health care outcomes in Australian general practices through:

  • enabling earlier consideration and uptake of advance care planning
  • enabling more efficient use of general practitioner and nurse time in providing palliative and supportive care
  • enabling more appropriate and timely referrals to specialist palliative care services if required
  • increasing confidence and comfort levels for primary care clinicians to initiate conversations with patients and their carers about advance care planning and palliative/supportive care
  • upskilling general practice managers to support general practitioners and general practice nurses to overcome any barriers to successful implementation of the Advance Project tools and resources into routine practice.
