Please take action today to encourage our parliamentarians to reject the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill NSW later this month.

This bill has been drafted by an unofficial working group of politicians including MLCs Trevor Khan, Mehreen Faruqi, Lynda Voltz, and MPs Alex Greenwich and Lee Evans.

This bill would make both assisted suicide and euthanasia legal in cases where a doctor believes someone has 12 months or less left to live. This will only apply to NSW residents who are 25 years old or older.

Assisted suicide and euthanasia are currently illegal throughout Australia in all six states and both territories. The Australian Medical Association (AMA), the professional association for Australian doctors and medical students, has declared its opposition to changing the law to legalise physician-assisted suicide.

We need to offer support, not suicide, for vulnerable NSW residents. This bill would impose a terrible pressure on our sick, elderly and vulnerable to end their lives. NSW should be investing in gold-standard palliative care for our sick, not introducing death solutions.

Your voice needs to be heard. Please take the time to act today – by emailing members of the Legislative Council and asking them to reject the Voluntary Assisted Dying bill. Use the form below to contact them all while writing only once (NSW residents only).
