New South Wales
Common law Advance Care Directives are the only Advance Care Directives that exist and are legally binding in New South Wales (NSW). Statutory Advance Care Directives do not exist.
NSW Health has released a booklet on Making an Advance Care Directive to support people who wish to write an Advance Care Directive, including an example form. However, this document is not a Statutory Advance Care Directive.
