I move the second reading amendment on sheet No. 4176:
At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate notes that aged care providers:
(a) should have the right to refuse to provide a voluntary assisted dying process in relation to any resident in their care;
(b) must advise all residents and applicants of any policy to refuse to provide a voluntary assisted dying process; and
(c) must take reasonable steps to ensure the transfer of any resident who then wishes to secure a position with a different provider".
Sue Lines President
The question is that the second reading amendment as moved by Senator Roberts be agreed to.
