AMA position statement on Voluntary Assisted Dying 2025

Doctors have an ethical duty to provide their patients with quality end-of-life care that strives to alleviate pain and suffering, supports an individual's values and preferences for care, and allows them to achieve the best quality of life possible. This position statement serves to support doctors and patients who choose to participate, and those who choose not to participate, in Voluntary Assisted Dying services, where legally available in Australia.
