Welfare Wills
Is
a plain English web guide to legal issues around health
and life changes. It was produced for use in Victoria only
as some of the laws will be different in other states of
Australia. Chronic illnesses bring about lifestyle changes.
This resource was designed by the Chronic Illness Alliance
to help people with a chronic illness, their families and
advisors, to make informed decisions about the future.
