Western Australia is on the brink of becoming the second state in Australia to legalise voluntary assisted dying, with its Upper House passing the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2019 (WA).

A total of 55 amendments to the initial version of the Bill were passed. The Bill will return to the Lower House next week to review the amendments.
