The Voluntary Assisted Dying Implementation Taskforce met for the first time on 26 February 2018 and is chaired by former public advocate Julian Gardner.
The Taskforce will work with key stakeholders including aged care and health sector service providers to develop guidelines for voluntary assisted dying substances, clinical guidelines for the voluntary assisted dying scheme, as well supporting the Secretary to the Department of Health and Human Services to appoint the new Voluntary Assisted Dying Review Board. More information about the Taskforce can be found here.
