Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD)
Voluntary assisted dying is designed to offer eligible Western Australians an additional option for end-of-life decisions within the context of high-quality, patient-centered end-of-life care. Coolibah Care adheres to the Western Australian Voluntary Assisted Dying Guidelines to ensure compliance with the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act of 2019. Coolibah Care does not engage the services of medical practitioners or nurse practitioners to facilitate residents’ access to voluntary assisted dying. Consistent with legislative requirements, Coolibah Care will not impede a resident’s right to access voluntary assisted dying, nor negatively impact a resident’s dignity or right to choose this option. Coolibah staff may be approached in relation to voluntary assisted dying and will escalate the matter to a senior member of the clinical team to support access to appropriate information and resources relating to the VAD process. For more information regarding VAD in WA please refer to https://www.healthywa.wa.gov.au/Articles/U_Z/Voluntary-assisted-dying
