New South Wales
In New South Wales there is no legislation for an Advance Medical Directive (Living Will), however an Enduring Guardian can be appointed.
NSW Health's Using Advance Care Directives is a document which aims to 'provide advice to health professionals on the
best practice use of advance care directives'. This document is important because it states, among other things, that an AMD (for eg. from another state but) which complies with the document’s requirements will be legally binding in New South Wales.
