Seminar for Clergy: Volunteer Assisted Dying

The recent seminar on Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) provided clergy with an opportunity to explore this complex and sensitive topic. The event featured insights from distinguished speakers:

• The Most Reverend Dr Peter Carnley AC – Retired Archbishop of Perth
• Alice Morison – Nurse Coordinator, WA Voluntary Assisted Dying Statewide Care Navigator Service
• The Reverend Ros Fairless – Chaplain, Amana Living & Professional Supervisor

To support ongoing reflection and discussion, a selection of resources and links related to the seminar topics has been compiled. These materials include background reading, policy documents, and guidance on pastoral care in the context of VAD.
