An Australian Member of Parliament, facing a terminal illness, is campaigning for changes to the current regulations that prohibit the use of telehealth for assisted dying. The MP argues that this restriction disproportionately affects individuals in rural and remote areas who may have difficulty accessing in-person medical assessments required for assisted dying. Allowing telehealth consultations would expand access to end-of-life care options for those who meet the eligibility criteria.
