A jury of Canberrans will advise on a decision-making process for people desiring voluntary assisted dying who have lost their capacity to make decisions.
A citizens' jury of about 50 people will be established to bring Canberrans together on the sensitive project, supported by clinicians, legal experts, consumers, carers and advocacy groups.
The ACT government announcement marks the next stage of voluntary assisted dying policy, considering what should happen if a person loses decision-making capacity after the final assessment stage of the process.
