Prepare for Assessment Form

People seeking access to voluntary assisted dying can prepare for their first assessment by filling out an optional Prepare for Assessment Form.

The form can help people to:

  • collect information for their first assessment
  • collect proof of eligibility for their medical practitioner.

It is encouraged that the form is completed on the Voluntary Assisted Dying Clinical Portal.

A login is not required to access the form, however it must be completed in one sitting.

Once completed, a person seeking access to voluntary assisted dying will be given a receipt number to provide to their Coordinating Medical Practitioner. This will automatically update the person’s details in the Clinical Portal when the medical practitioner enters the code at the first assessment.

A hard copy of the form can be downloaded, completed, and brought to the first assessment. The information on the completed form will then be entered into the Clinical Portal by the medical practitioner.
