Enhancing End-of-Life Decision Making: Optimal Regulation of Voluntary Assisted Dying

This research project aims to enhance end-of-life care through optimal regulation. Professor Ben White, supported by a team of QUT and international collaborators, will explore the regulation of voluntary assisted dying (VAD) as a new and important aspect of end-of-life decision-making and propose a new optimal regulatory framework for VAD in Australia.
