If you are interested in having a presenter talk to your group about the issue of elder abuse please contact Sonia Di Mezza to book in your session on 6242 5060 or ADACAS Survey – Impaired decision making ability in health services ADACAS would like to know about how people with impaired decision making ability make healthcare decisions. We would also like to know about the needs and experiences of carers in supporting healthcare decisions. As part of collecting information for the project we want to hear about the experiences of people with impaired decision making ability and their carers through surveys and conversation. We want to ensure the availability of support for people with impaired decision making ability when they are making a healthcare decision. We hope this will improve the active participation of people with impaired decision making ability in health services. Throughout this survey we use the phrase ‘people with impaired decision making ability’. We use it to include people with intellectual impairment, dementia, people experiencing mental ill-health or people with an acquired brain injury, all of which can impair decision making ability. It also refers to people whose decision making ability may not be recognized by others.
