18December provides general information only. Nothing on this platform constitutes medical, legal, or financial advice. Always seek professional advice for your specific situation.

General information disclaimer

The information provided on 18December is for general educational and informational purposes only. While we take care to ensure accuracy, the content does not take into account your individual circumstances, needs, or objectives.

Not medical advice

Nothing on this platform is intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician, specialist, or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or treatment.

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this platform.

Not legal advice

Nothing on this platform constitutes legal advice. Guides covering wills, powers of attorney, advance care directives, estate administration, and probate are provided for general information only.

Laws governing these matters vary significantly between Australian states and territories, and between countries. You should always engage a qualified solicitor admitted to practice in your jurisdiction for advice specific to your circumstances.

Key jurisdictional variations include:

  • Wills, governed by state legislation (e.g. Wills Act 1997 (Vic); Succession Act 2006 (NSW))
  • Advance Care Directives, state-based legislation varies significantly; Victorian ACDs are governed by the Medical Treatment Planning and Decisions Act 2016 (Vic)
  • Powers of Attorney, governed by the Powers of Attorney Act 2014 (Vic) and equivalent state acts
  • Probate and estate administration, state Supreme Court jurisdictions apply
  • De facto and same-sex relationship recognition, governed by the Relationships Act 2008 (Vic) and federal law

Not financial advice

Nothing on this platform constitutes financial product advice within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Guides covering superannuation, insurance, tax, and estate finances are for general information only.

18December does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL). You should seek advice from a licensed financial adviser for guidance specific to your financial circumstances.

Medication diary and pending tests tracker

The medication diary and pending tests tracker on 18December are tools for personal record-keeping only. They are provided to help you or those caring for you organise information in one place.

These tools are not a clinical record system, a registered health service, or a substitute for official medical records maintained by healthcare providers. Entries do not constitute a medical record and should not be relied upon for clinical decisions, legal proceedings, or insurance purposes. Use of these tools does not create a patient-provider relationship of any kind with 18December.

Accuracy of information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure content is accurate and up to date. However, laws, regulations, and professional guidelines change. We do not warrant that information is complete, current, or free from error. Use of this platform is at your own risk.

Jurisdiction

Content on this platform is primarily written for users in Australia, with particular reference to Victorian law where state-specific guidance is provided. Users outside Australia or in states and territories other than Victoria should seek locally qualified professional advice, as the information may not apply to their circumstances.
