Voluntary Assisted Dying update
Niki Ferreira is a senior Pharmacist with the WA Department of Health. Some of our long term members will remember Niki from when she was a student member of Applecross Rotary, through the John Curtin Leadership Academy, and she stayed on as a full member of Rotary including serving two years as our Club Secretary.
Niki has responsibility for managing the supply of the drugs used for Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD), which became legal in WA in July 2021. Every state in Australia has similar legislation, but its use to end one’s life is still controversial, and Niki will speak about this next week.
