Voices From Voluntary Assisted Dying

Dr Laureen Lawlor-Smith

This podcast series aims to share stories from the family members of loved ones who have accessed Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) in South Australia. VAD enables eligible people to voluntarily access and self-administer - or in some cases have a doctor administer - a medication that will end their life.

The journeys undertaken in this podcast are deeply personal and reflective of the speakers' own experiences and circumstances.

VAD in South Australia is only accessible to people who meet strict criteria.
