Voluntary Assisted Dying: Panel Discussion

Join Humanists Australia’s CEO Mary-Anne Cosgrove with special guests Iain McKinnon, Victoria Chapter Coordinator, Exit International and Sam Delaney, President, Dying with Dignity ACT for a discussion on Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD). VAD is in the process of being implemented in the ACT, for commencement in November this year. How does the legislation in the ACT, the most recent Australian jurisdiction to legalise it, compare with the legislation in Victoria, the first Australian implementation? What have we learned from how VAD has worked in Victoria? What is the process of dying like for those who are dying and their families? Who is left out? What improvements could be made?
