“Go Gentle Australia was founded in 2016 by broadcaster Andrew Denton. We are a national charity that promotes and enables choice at the end of life, including the option of voluntary assisted dying. 

Our vision is an Australia where we can all choose the end-of-life care that is right for us. We have been instrumental in passing voluntary assisted dying laws in all six Australian states and the ACT, and now work to ensure these laws operate as intended, are protected and improved, and that compassionate, person-centred end-of-life care is available for all Australians.”

With Andrew, I helped craft a special message from a dear friend in their final days to the doctors of Australia and the Australian government imploring them to change their perception of VAD. Three versions of this message (25 min. 10 min & 5 min) are being circulated nationally by Go Gentle Australia as they continue their mission to get more doctors’ understanding on the subject and push for more legislation.
