Update on Voluntary Assisted Dying in Australia
Channel: Green Left
Date: 31/03/2023

When the Restoring Territory Rights Bill was ratified by Federal Parliament on December 1, it cleared the way for the ACT and NT to again consider their own Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) legislation. VAD is now an option in all of the states.

Green Left's Suzanne James talks to VAD advocates: Shayne Higson, CEO of Dying with Dignity (DWD) NSW; Jeanne Arthur, President of DWD ACT; and Judy Dent, President of the Voluntary Euthanasia Society Northern Territory (VES NT).

They discuss VAD implementation in the States and the ongoing campaign for voluntary assisted dying legislation in the Territories.
