OLC Care's Position Statement on Voluntary Assisted Dying
Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation has come into effect in Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, South Australia and New South Wales (28th November 2023).
OLC Care does not support Voluntary Assisted Dying, nor do we recognise these interventions as medical treatments.
- OLC Care does not facilitate or participate in assessments undertaken for the purpose of accessing or making use of the interventions allowed under Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation, nor does Calvary administer (or facilitate the administration of) a substance for the same purpose.
- As a result, OLC Care cannot provide these services to residents or clients.
OLC Care does respond openly, sensitively and respectfully (that is, without discrimination) to anyone within our care who expresses a wish to explore or consider Voluntary Assisted Dying.
- We actively listen to and accompany any person who wishes to talk about the end of their life.
- We do not abandon people when they most need to talk or when they most need care.
- We do not impede people from accessing Voluntary Assisted Dying nor do we deny medical care and treatment to any person who chooses Voluntary Assisted Dying.
