Role of the board

Meet the inaugural members.

The board reviews and monitors voluntary assisted dying activities in Victoria.

Its responsibilities include:

• promoting and ensuring compliance with the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2017
• reporting to Parliament and referring any potential issues or breaches to the appropriate authorities
• collecting data about voluntary assisted dying
• providing information to the community while maintaining the privacy of individuals involved.

The board reviews all assessments and forms submitted for voluntary assisted dying retrospectively.

The board does not:

• grant or refuse applications for voluntary assisted dying
• participate as coordinating or consulting medical practitioners in voluntary assisted dying assessments.

We are currently working on a model for processing data or research partnership requests made to the board. Check back here for updates.
