Go Gentle Australia and VADANZ (Voluntary Assisted Dying Australia & NZ) present the second trans-Tasman Voluntary Assisted Dying National Conference in Brisbane on 28-29 October 2024.

Join the growing community of voluntary assisted dying (VAD) health professionals, policymakers, peak bodies and health advocacy organisations to share, reflect and build the future of end-of-life care in Australia and New Zealand.

What to expect?
This conference recognises the importance of VAD as a growing body of clinical practice and provides a space to learn more about VAD, the people and systems involved, and what can be improved.

Following the success of, and feedback from, last year's inaugural conference we have placed a greater focus on research, partnering with the Australian Centre for Health Law Research at QUT.

You will have the chance to connect and meet with trans-Tasman colleagues, hear from leaders in VAD practice and take part in interactive sessions on the theme of Equity and Access. You will:

Get the latest updates and emerging challenges and issues in VAD in the last 12 months
Understand the experiences of those frontline in VAD care, including healthcare professionals, patients and families
Explore innovations and new VAD models of care
Learn from the experiences of other jurisdictions.
