Dying with Dignity

The overwhelming majority of Australians (85%) believe that terminally ill individuals should have a right to seek and obtain assistance to end their life with dignity. That right does not exist.

Current law lags significantly behind the will of the people.

Victorian Parliament


The Victorian Election was held on November 27 last year and we now have a more socially conservative Parliament than before.

It's more critical than ever that you write and let your polticians know that you expect them to enact the wishes of the overwhelming majority of Victorians--for aid-in-dying for the terminally ill.

If you don’t know the name of your electorate or the politicians who preresent you, use the online tool on this site to find out.

Be sure to express your views with courtesy, and ask for a response to the question what action do they plan to take and when.

Also consider cc'ing your mail to both the Premier, Ted Baillieu, and to the Leader of the Opposition, Daniel Andrews.
