Perth Voluntary Assisted Dying Lawyers with Extensive Legal Experience
As of 01 July 2021, Voluntary Assisted Dying laws came into effect in Western Australia. This new legislation involves a process for patients under medical advice to access medication to enable a person to legally choose the manner and timing of death. This end of life choice is regulated by strict guidelines set out in the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2019.
It is important to note the emphasis on ‘voluntary’ as the nature of the choice of the patient. As relatively new legislation where no litigation has so far occurred under it, Appius lawyers offers advice on how to ensure all legislative requirements are satisfied and required procedures are followed. Contact Appius lawyers for advice.
When the end of life approaches, it is important that loved ones and their health care team know what health and personal preferences are. There are a few steps that can be taken to make sure a person’s wishes can be followed. Appius lawyers can assist with Advance care planning and creating an Advance health Directive.
