Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2021

This section applies if—

a decision of QCAT is substituted for a decision of a coordinating practitioner for a person requesting access to voluntary assisted dying under section 106(1)(b); and

the decision of QCAT is about—

whether the person has or does not have decision-making capacity in relation to voluntary assisted dying; or

whether the person is or is not acting voluntarily and without coercion.

The coordinating practitioner may refuse to continue to perform the role of coordinating practitioner.

A coordinating practitioner who refuses to continue to perform the role of coordinating practitioner must transfer the role of coordinating practitioner to—

if there is a consulting practitioner for the person—that person; or

otherwise—another medical practitioner who is eligible to act as a coordinating practitioner.
