Dying with Dignity ACT is a non-profit group of volunteers committed to law reform that would enable our citizens to have assistance to die.
We started as Voluntary Euthanasia ACT, a branch of Voluntary Euthanasia NSW, in the late 1980s.
When VENSW became Dying with Dignity NSW in 2009 we renamed as the ACT Branch of DWDNSW.
Dying with Dignity ACT became incorporated in its own right in July 2012
We:
- lobby local politicians for changes needed in the ACT in relation to assisted dying
- communicate with DWD organizations around Australia.
- engage with The World Federation of Right to Die Societies as an active member.
- inform ourselves about legislation on assisted dying in other countries.
- organize forums with local and national speakers.
- update our members regularly about meetings and events via our website, social media and email.
We welcome new members. Our membership is important to us because we can lobby more effectively if our numbers are high.
