Advance care directives (ACDs) are used in all Australian states and territories, but take different forms and names. In the Northern Territory, they are known as advance personal plans (APPs). An APP allows not only for advanced consent decisions in relation to life support and palliative care, but also the appointment of a substitute decision maker. The powers of the substitute decision maker under the Advance Personal Planning Act 2013 can include health and financial matters.
