Voluntary Assisted Dying became available for eligible Queenslanders in January 2023. Eligible people can ask for medical support to end their own lives. You must be an adult-resident with decision making abilities, have a condition or disease that is expected to cause death within a year and is considered by you to be intolerable.
The process involves a three step request process, prescription and supply of a voluntary assisted dying substance then taking the substance. More details of the process and contacts for assistance are available in the Queensland Voluntary Assisted Dying Handbook available here.
