Advocacy
There are a number of longstanding advocacy groups that have supported the progression of voluntary assisted dying laws and continue to work for further changes.
Go Gentle
Go Gentle was founded in 2016 by broadcaster Andrew Denton. They are a national charity that promotes and enables choice at the end of life, including the option of voluntary assisted dying. Go Gentle have been instrumental in passing voluntary assisted dying laws in all six Australian states and the ACT, and continue to work to ensure these laws operate as intended, are protected and improved, and that compassionate, person- centred end-of-life care is available for all Australians. Their website includes individual stories, summaries of the laws in each state and links to resources.
