Guest Speaker – Laurie DRAPER
Clinical Nurse Consultant with the Victorian Voluntary Assisted Dying Care Navigator Service
 
Victoria was the first Australian State to pass voluntary assisted dying laws. The Voluntary Assisted Dying Act (2017), which came into effect on 19 June 2019, provides the legal framework for people who are in the late stages of advanced disease, and dying, to choose the manner and timing of their death.
With comprehensive safeguards and rigorous protections, the process for accessing Voluntary Assisted Dying in Victoria is considered among the safest and most conservative in the world.
Our Guest Speaker, Laurie Draper, is a Clinical Nurse Consultant in the Victorian Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) statewide Care Navigator service which is based at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. Laurie is a Registered Nurse with 19 years nursing experience, spent predominantly in cancer care, and she joined the VAD navigator service in January 2020. In her presentation, Laurie will explain:
  • The role of the Care Navigator service in the Victorian VAD regime;
  • The eligibility criteria for VAD in Victoria;
  • The VAD Assessment process; and
  • Current data on the operation of VAD in Victoria.
