The new form implements recommendations 8-11, 12.1 and 13 of the Final Report of the Ministerial Expert Panel on Advance Health Directives established by the Attorney General. Establishment of the Expert Panel was recommendation 1 of the Final Report, My Life, My Choice, by the Joint Standing Committee on End-of-Life Choices, in August 2018.

From November 2020 to January 2021, the project team coordinated a working group which was tasked with further refinement of the draft form. Representation on the working group included key end-of-life clinicians and consumers. The Department of Health worked closely with the Department of Justice in the drafting and finalisation of the Regulations.
