Inform yourself about the VAD Law

We are a registered charity which successfully campaigned for voluntary assisted dying laws in New South Wales to allow competent adults with a terminal illness the right to receive medical assistance to end their lives peacefully, at a time of their choosing.

Will you support our on-going work?

Our work is not done.

We need your support to ensure that the NSW voluntary assisted dying laws work as intended and are accessible to dying people regardless of where they live.

Will you help us continue to fight for your end-of-life rights?
