Challenges and Opportunities: An Australian’s perspective on what Voluntary Assisted Dying has brought to palliative care
Associate Professor Mark Boughey
Victoria was the first State in Australia to legalise Voluntary Assisted Dying in 2017, and 3 years since its introduction into clinical practice. With a domino effect around Australia, all States having passed legislation by May 2022, it has been timely to reflect on the challenges and opportunities presenting itself to palliative care and the ever increasing complexity surrounding care for a dying person.
