Australien

Sterbehilfe, Euthanasie, Patientenrechte
Gesetze und rechtliche Regelungen


1995 wurde in den Northern Territories der ärztlich assistierte Suizid legalisiert und 1997 durch ein Bundesgesetz wieder verboten. 2005 wurde die Verbreitung von Suizidinformationen durch ein Bundesgesetz verboten.
Die Staaten und Territorien haben Patientenrechte, Patientenverfügung und rechtliche Betreuung unterschiedlich geregelt.
Beim Bundesparlament sind Sterbehilfe, Pflege und Rechte älterer Menschen Thema.
Das Gesundheitsministerium ist auch für Fragen des Alterns zuständig.
Informationen zur Vorsorgeplanung (Advance Care Planning) und den rechtliche Regelungen der Staaten und Territorien werden von mehreren Organisationen gesammelt. Die Alzheimer Gesellschaft informiert ausführlich.
Es gibt sieben Sterbehilfeorganisationen, die sich für die Legalisierung verbotener Sterbehilfe einsetzen.
