Document Your Health and Care Wishes With Clarity and Confidence

The Health & Care suite within the Evaheld Legacy Vault is your dedicated space to securely document your medical wishes, treatment preferences, advance care planning decisions and important care instructions.

It brings together everything needed to guide future healthcare decisions in one secure, accessible place — from your Advance Care Directive and treatment preferences to comfort measures, cultural or spiritual considerations, emergency access details, and the people you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so.

By capturing this information in advance, you reduce uncertainty during illness, hospital admissions and emergencies, making it easier for loved ones, carers and healthcare professionals to act in line with your wishes. Everything is securely stored within your Evaheld Vault, so your preferences remain clear, accessible and up to date when they matter most.

Advance Care Directive with QR Emergency Access

Your health preferences are formally recorded in your digital Advance Care Directive, which can be securely linked to an accessible QR Emergency Access Card through Evaheld’s advanced care planning software.

This allows authorised healthcare professionals to quickly access your directive and critical health information when urgent decisions are required, helping ensure your voice is heard even in time-sensitive situations.

You can upload the statutory Medical Directive for your state or territory, or complete the Evaheld Advance Care Directive, bringing together your medical, legal and personal care preferences in one secure location.

Your directive can be updated at any time as your circumstances, health needs or wishes change.
