What next for voluntary assisted dying in Australia?

Aust Health Rev. 2023 Feb;47(1):3-4. doi: 10.1071/AH23005.

Abstract

As all Australian states now have voluntary assisted dying legislation, and with territories likely to follow, the focus shifts to how these systems are operating in practice and can be improved. Evidence to date shows voluntary assisted dying has been implemented safely, but some access challenges remain. The legislation in each state requires the voluntary assisted dying system must be reviewed and such reviews must be evidence-based.
