Tasmania

Common law Advance Care Directives are the only Advance Care Directives that exist and are legally binding in Tasmania. Statutory Advance Care Directives do not exist.

The Tasmanian Department of Health has developed an Advance Care Directive form that a person may wish to use to document their medical treatment decisions, values and preferences. However, this document is not a Statutory Advance Care Directive.
