By the end of 2023, eligible people in all Australian states will be able to apply for voluntary assisted dying as the final three states' laws will become operational this year. 9News
These states join Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania, whose laws have been operating for more than three years, one year and three months respectively.Legislation allowing eligible New South Wales residents to choose to end their own life became law last year.
There is now a clear picture emerging of voluntary assisted dying in Australia, with hundreds choosing this in states where it is legal. In Western Australia, uptake has been much higher than expected, with 190 people choosing voluntary assisted dying in the first year. This is higher than the number of Victorians who accessed voluntary assisted dying in the first year, even though WA's population is much smaller.
Those providing voluntary assisted dying and state-based services designed to help prospective patients access it has praised the set-up as supportive and compassionate.
