What is Dignity in Dying?

Dignity in Dying AGM

Dignity in Dying AGM

We are a national campaign and membership organisation. With over 25,000 supporters, we campaign for greater choice and control at the end of life including the legalisation of assisted dying for terminally ill, mentally competent adults.

Our vision

We believe that everyone has the right to a dignified death:

  • Choice over where we die, who is present and our treatment options.
  • Access to expert information on our options, good quality end-of-life care, and support for loved ones and carers.
  • Control over how we die, our symptoms and pain relief, and planning our own death.
Our mission

With our supporters, we campaign to legalise assisted dying for terminally ill, mentally competent adults.

We work to change the law on assisted dying by lobbying decision-makers, educating legal and healthcare professionals and empowering terminally ill people and their loved ones who are suffering under the current system to have their voices heard.
