Voluntary assisted dying (Webinar 2 in series)

From 28 November 2023, eligible people will have the choice to access voluntary assisted dying in NSW. NSW Health has been carefully planning for the implementation of voluntary assisted dying to ensure it is safe, accessible and aligns with the legislation. We have also worked with other states to learn from their experience.

From November, patients may start to ask about accessing voluntary assisted dying. General Practitioners will need to understand their obligations and responsibilities under the voluntary assisted dying legislation to enable them to support their patients to access voluntary assisted dying when it becomes available.
