Assisted Dying in Australia: Where to next? 🤔 In 2020, Victoria and Western Australia are the only two Australian states to have passed legislation allowing voluntary assisted dying. Who will be next? Where does the rest of Australia stand on VAD? During the successful campaigns in WA and Victoria, we witnessed strong public support for VAD. Many courageous families have spoken up, shedding light on the issue of assisted dying in Australia. Together with these stories, both states have set a positive precedent for others to follow. Two parliamentary inquiries into end of life choices are currently underway in QLD and SA. With both due to wrap up in March this year, either could be the next state to consider a VAD Bill. To find out more about where Australia currently stands on VAD, head to our Newsroom.

Fingers crossed, WA. 🤞 Today debate will begin at 11am, on the next Upper House vote. The mood is cautiously optimistic given there are still hurdles to clear. If you're in Perth, get down to the public gallery at Parliament House from 11am, WA time. MPs will need all the support we can give them to stay the course. #VAD #VoluntaryAssistedDying #BeBraveWA #AssistedDying #Cancer #Choice #EndOfLife #MyLifeMyChoice #DeathWithDignity #Terminalillness #Health #HumanRights #Australia #HumanRightsAustralia #WesternAustralia #Euthanasia #RightToDie #GoGentleAustralia #assisteddeath #medicalaidindying #endoflifecare
