Overview

Death Doula Vic are working to make our site deathdoulavic.com.au accessible to people with disabilities.

We are committed to making our website and services accessible to all individuals including people living with disabilities, neurodiversity, financial hardship and those navigating complex end-of-life decisions.

We believe that everyone deserves dignity, respect and equitable access to support—regardless of ability, circumstance or identity. This includes providing reduced-fee services where possible, supporting clients choosing Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) and welcoming NDIS participants. This commitment extends to how our website is built and experienced.

We regularly review and update this statement to reflect evolving accessibility practices and your feedback.

Compassionate access

We believe everyone should have the right to choose where and how they die—regardless of financial circumstance. While our services are priced to reflect experience, the time, care and commitment involved we also recognise that private care can feel out of reach for some individuals and families.

If you’re facing financial hardship but feel called to this kind of support we encourage you to reach out to discuss your individual situation. We offer limited spaces for reduced-fee services, assessed on a case-by-case basis and always with kindness, confidentiality and dedication to this sacred work.

A financial contribution is still required but we are open to working with you to find a way forward in honouring your wishes.

NDIS participants welcome

I am NDIS worker screened and have completed the NDIS worker training requirements that allow me to provide support to self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. My services may be suitable under categories such as:

•Core Supports – Assistance with Daily Life

•Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living

Please contact me to discuss how I can support you or your loved one to access services with NDIS funding.

All services include emotional, spiritual and practical support.

Voluntary assisted dying (VAD)

I hold membership with Dying With Dignity Victoria, who advocate for:

“Laws that respect individual autonomy and choice at the end of life, including access to quality palliative care and the right to voluntary assisted dying (VAD) for those who meet the criteria.”

I believe in freedom of choice and provide non-judgemental, compassionate care individuals and their carers—including those seeking information or support around VAD as part of their end-of-life plan.

This is deeply personal territory and every person deserves to be heard, respected and supported—whatever their path.

For some the decision to pursue VAD is grounded in a desire for freedom, transition and dignity. If this is your choice, my servies are avaliable to support you.
