Dying with Dignity ACT is a non-profit group of volunteers committed to giving Canberrans end-of-life choices to die peacefully and with dignity at the time of their choosing, through advocacy, awareness-raising and support.
Dying with Dignity ACT has been an incorporated organisation since July 2012 and is in the process of applying for charity status.
We:
- lobby ACT politicians for improvements needed in relation to voluntary assisted dying law and practice
- inform the community about legislation on assisted dying in the ACT, elsewhere in Australia, and internationally
- provide support to Canberrans and those in surrounding NSW by witnessing their formal voluntary assisted dying application documents
- communicate with similar assisted-dying organisations around Australia
- engage with The World Federation of Right to Die Societies as an active member
- organise public 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. Every person who joins strengthens our shared purpose and amplifies our collective voice. When our community grows, so does our power to create meaningful change
