Voluntary assisted dying

Voluntary assisted dying is one of several choices a person may have at the end of their life. It is important to discuss all options with your doctor.

Voluntary assisted dying is about choice. It gives people who meet eligibility criteria and who are already suffering and dying the option to ask for medical help to end their life.

Seeking information about, or access to, voluntary assisted dying has no impact on access to palliative care.
