Help Katharine resident Lori Martin get VAD in the NT

"They need to start the process now, so it’s not too late for me."

Lori Martin, who lives in Katherine, has a progressive and incurable lung disease. When the time comes that her COPD is unbearable, she wants the option of VAD. 

It's only fair that Territorians like Lori have the same rights as other Australians. 

Will you email pollies in the NT to let them know you support VAD? It only takes 1 minute and reminds NT politicians that their vote should represent YOU.

Let NT pollies know you support voluntary assisted dying

In 1995 the NT became the first in Australia to legalise voluntary euthanasia. But now it's the last.

In July and August, your NT politicians will debate a VAD law in the Legislative Assembly.

Will you email your local representative to ask them to support a VAD law and key amendments to ensure we get the best possible law?

Territorians like Lori should have the same end-of-life choices as other Australians.

Tell your local MP that you want a VAD law, just like the rest of Australia. Remind them that you're watching!

Top tips

  • Keep your message short and polite
  • Include your NT postcode (so they know you're their constituent)
  • Tell them why VAD matters to you and that Territorians deserve end-of-life choice, like other Australians
  • Urge them to back key amendments
