Where Do We Go From Here? Voluntary Assisted Dying in Victoria — Dying to Tell

In 2017 we launched Dying to Tell with an in depth look at the proposed Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation. This legislation passed in November 2017 and from 19^th June 2019 Victorians will be able to request access to voluntary assisted dying.

We revisit this important topic with Julian Gardner AM (formerly the Public Advocate for Victoria) who has been part of an implementation team and will talk about this along with Kass Hall – a terminal cancer patient and Go Gentle advocate who will be directly affected by the legislation.
