This booklet has been prepared to support Aboriginal people to journey into the health system through ‘Sorry Business’ (life-limiting illnesses). In consultation with Aboriginal Elders, we aim to connect health services with Aboriginal wisdom when assisting and caring for those with life-limiting conditions while honouring their connection with land, community, family and tradition.
We value the importance of advance care planning yarning, and this resource has been developed to provide culturally appropriate, respectful and mindful information to encourage Aboriginal people in opening conversations about their rights, wishes and how to plan when circumstances change through their lives.
