During the six-month period February to July 2022, the service engaged with 83 participants. End-of-life and ACP conversations were facilitated with 77 (93%) of these clients and 64 (78%) participants progressed their ACP documentation. Fourteen (12%) participants identified as culturally diverse, 5 (4%) self-identified as living with a disability and 2 (2%) reported belonging to the LGBTIQA+ community. Based on these initial positive results, Carers WA has extended the pilot for a further 12 months and additional funding has been provided to employ another ACP Support Officer. Conclusion Findings from the ACP Support Pilot strongly suggest that one-to-one support results in increased ACP discussions and completion of associated documentation. Further research is needed to consolidate initial findings and identify any implications.
