Alexandra District Health participated in National Advance Care Planning Week 2026 to promote awareness of future healthcare decision-making across our workforce and community. The information encouraged conversations about individual healthcare preferences and the importance of planning ahead.
The campaign increased awareness of Advance Care Planning among staff, patients, residents, and community members. Planning resources were promoted across multiple service areas, reinforcing ADH’s commitment to the community and ensuring healthcare aligns with what matters most to everyone.
Participation in this national initiative contributed to strengthening a culture that supports informed decision-making, dignity, and choice in care delivery across Alexandra District Health. Thank you to all involved.
To learn more about Advance Care Planning or to create an Advance Care Directive, please contact ADH Reception to book an appointment. The Advance Care Planning Clinic is held monthly. Individual appointments run for one hour, and couple appointments run for 1.5 hours.

Today, Thursday 19th March marks National Close the Gap Day.
Alexandra District Health acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and provide care. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

What is Close the Gap Day?
A national day of awareness that highlights the ongoing health inequalities experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
It is also a call to take meaningful action toward health equality.

Why does it matter?
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to experience poorer health outcomes.
Real change happens when we listen, learn, and act together.

What it means to Alexandra District Health
We are committed to:
• Culturally safe and respectful care
• Listening to community voices
• Building trust and understanding
• Improving health outcomes for all

Closing the gap isn’t just one day. At Alexandra District Health we are committed to providing culturally safe and respectful care, today and every day. Closing the gap starts with all of us.

There are a lot of misconceptions about Advance Care Planning. Let’s break down some common myths and share the facts that help you make informed choices about your future healthcare.

This week is National Advance Care Planning Week. Have you thought about who would speak for you if you were unable to make your own healthcare decisions?

National Advance Care Planning Week encourages all Australians to start conversations about their future health care wishes. Your voice matters, even if you can’t speak for yourself.

Advance Care Planning helps people:
✅ Reflect on what matters most
✅ Discuss wishes with family and loved ones
✅ Appoint a trusted decision-maker
✅ Record healthcare preferences for the future

This year’s theme, “Your story, your choice,” reminds us that planning ahead gives peace of mind to both individuals and their families.

To learn more about Advance Care Planning or to create an Advance Care Directive, please contact ADH Reception to book an appointment. The Advance Care Planning Clinic is held monthly. Individual appointments run for one hour, and couple appointments run for 1.5 hours.

Today we acknowledge Teal Ribbon Day, raising awareness for Ovarian cancer and standing with every woman, family member, and friend impacted by this disease.
Ovarian cancer is often called the “silent disease” because symptoms can be vague and easily dismissed. Bloating, abdominal pain, feeling full quickly, urinary changes, and fatigue are signs that should never be ignored, especially if they are persistent or new.
Teal represents strength, courage, and hope. Today we wear teal to:
• Honour those we have lost
• Support those currently fighting
• Raise awareness about early detection
• Advocate for research and better outcomes
Let’s keep the conversation going. Awareness can save lives.

This afternoon ADH held a thank you afternoon tea for the staff and family members who supported our community during the devastating January bushfires. It was a lovely time, with everyone enjoying the chance to pause, connect, share stories and simply be together after such a challenging period. There was warmth, gratitude and a real sense of community in the room.
A heartfelt thank you to Robert, Beryl and Karynn Tucknott for so generously donating their time, food and baking to make the afternoon so special. Your kindness and generosity was very much appreciated by all.
