The development of research-informed policy is highly dependent on the equal representation of all stakeholders. Yet in Australian voluntary assisted dying (VAD) research, the voices of people living with dementia are currently excluded from the research narrative. The exclusion of people living with dementia from VAD research has serious implications for the development of VAD policy, and the delivery of equitable access to end-of-life care services. As such, this paper presents the findings of a survey conducted as part of a broader mixed methods project exploring the attitudes, preferences, and needs of Australians living with dementia relating to VAD access. Responses were received from 36 participants through a series of closed and open-ended questions. The strong views held by these participants demonstrate the necessity of their inclusion in this research. The participants spoke to the highly personal nature of VAD as an end-of-life care choice, and about the importance of human rights in this discourse. This research serves as an important first step in addressing a serious gap in contemporary Australian VAD research. The findings of this study highlighted confronting disparities experienced by people living with dementia when accessing needs-based end-of-life care. Furthermore, the findings of this study demonstrate the need for continued VAD research that prioritises the voices of people living with dementia. This paper will be of interest to anybody interested in VAD and dementia research in Australia.
