Voluntary-Assisted Dying laws a success policy in Australia

A new report launched this week shows how voluntary-assisted dying policies across Australia are a success. 
 
With the exception of the NT, all jurisdictions have passed laws supporting VAD, but there are still challenges to access it in regional communities.  
 
Organisation GoGentle Australia is asking the Federal government to rehaul Commonwealth laws so all Australians have access to VAD.
