From hallandwilcox.com.au: Voluntary assisted dying allows adults in several Australian jurisdictions to seek medical assistance to end their life under specific legislative frameworks.

The eligibility criteria include being an adult with an incurable condition causing significant suffering, and a detailed assessment process involving multiple medical professionals is required.

Victoria’s VAD laws, the first in Australia, include strict safeguards to protect patients and ensure compliance, with oversight conducted by the Voluntary Assisted Dying Review Board.
