On the 28th and 29th October, QUT is hosting the 2024 Trans-Tasman Voluntary Assisted Dying Conference. This is the second time the conference is being held, and this year, Go Gentle Australia and VADANZ have partnered with the Australian Centre for Health Law Research (ACHLR) to introduce a research focus into the program. The conference has over 300 registrants and will be attended by researchers, health professionals, policymakers and leading advocates to deliver what promises to be an informative and thought-provoking two days.
The research program features some of ACHLR’s very own members with presentations by Dr Eliana Close, Dr Laura Ley Greaves, Madeleine Archer and Casey Haining. Professors Lindy Willmott and Ben White will also be delivering a session on the future priorities for VAD in Australia, drawing on reflections from a 7-year research program.
Due to high-demand, in person tickets have sold out (although a waiting list exists), and virtual tickets remain available. For more information about the conference (including the program), visit the VADCON24 website.
