Values

Ethical

We act with integrity and equity. We seek to make fair, impartial and timely decisions based upon consideration of relevant facts, supported by evidence, and ensuring compliance with the law.

Accountable

We are transparent about our operations and activities, make difficult decisions with clarity of purpose, resolve and empathy, and take responsibility for our decisions and actions.

As individual board members we support Review Board decisions, even if we have voiced different views or perspectives.

Compassionate

We consider people as well as process in making and enacting decisions.

We recognise and respect the personal and varied experience for people involved at the end-of-life and those involved in their care.

Respectful

As individuals, we treat each other courteously, fairly and respectfully. We actively listen to each other and respect differences and opinions.

As a board, we acknowledge that voluntary assisted dying and other end-of-life options are complex, with many holding personal views for reasons that are important to them.
