NSW State Election on 23 March

We are an advocacy organisation pursuing a change in the law that will enhance choice at the end of life. We seek legislation that enables competent adults, experiencing unrelievable suffering from a terminal or incurable illness, to receive medical assistance to end their life peacefully, at a time of their choosing.
