Victoria, Australia, amends assisted dying laws to expand access and streamline processes.
Victoria, Australia, will amend its voluntary assisted dying (VAD) laws to allow doctors to initiate discussions about VAD with patients.
Other changes include extending the life expectancy threshold for non-neurodegenerative diseases from six to 12 months, simplifying the permit process, and shortening the time between initial and final VAD requests.
The changes follow a five-year review and aim to enhance access and support for individuals seeking VAD.
Since legalization in 2019, 1,282 Victorians have used VAD services.
