Minister pledges to lift gag law that stops doctors broaching VAD with patients
More than 1250 Victorians have died through voluntary assisted dying since 2019.
Doctors will no longer risk being referred to AHPRA for raising voluntary assisted dying as an option for terminally ill patients under a Victorian Government pledge to relax its five-year-old laws.
When Victoria became the first state to legalise voluntary assisted dying (VAD) in 2019, then-Premier Daniel Andrews declared it “the most conservative model in the world”.
