    Voluntary assisted dying

    The Parliament of NSW passed the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2022 (the Act) on 19 May 2022. This Act will allow eligible people the choice to access voluntary assisted dying from 28 November 2023.

    From now until November 2023, the NSW Ministry of Health will plan for and implement voluntary assisted dying in NSW.
