This research project “Voluntary Assisted Dying and Dementia in Australia: an exploratory study” is led by Professor Ben White and Professor Lindy Willmott in the Australian Centre for Health Law Research, Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
This project will use legal and empirical research methods to (1) further the evidence base on voluntary assisted dying (VAD) for people with dementia and (2) identify possible legislative models that could allow for access to VAD for people with dementia. Project findings will provide a basis for informed Australian public policy debates and law reform deliberations.
More information is available on the project website.
