Health NZ – The Assisted Dying Service
The Assisted Dying Service Team at Health NZ is responsible for the operation of assisted dying services throughout New Zealand. This includes providing a person- centred, equitable and accessible service to the New Zealand public.
Clinical advisors (Senior Nurses) in Health NZ provide information and support to help a person and their whānau navigate the assisted dying process, as well as the involved practitioners, connecting people to health professionals who provide the service.
The Assisted Dying Service team can be contacted at AssistedDying@tewhatuora.govt.nz or free phone 0800 223 852.
