Request and assessment—Voluntary assisted dying process
Before you can access voluntary assisted dying, you must make 3 separate requests.
There must be at least 9 days between the first and final request. This period allows time for you to reflect on your choices while ensuring your suffering isn’t drawn out.
The 9-day period can be shortened if your coordinating and consulting doctors both believe that you are likely to die or lose decision-making capacity during that time.
