• As of 1 July 2021, voluntary assisted dying (VAD) is a choice available to eligible people under the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2019.
• VAD involves a process to access medication and to enable a person to legally choose the manner and timing of their death.
• Put simply, voluntary assisted dying means that some adults can now ask for medical help to end their life if they have a disease or illness that is so severe it is going to cause their death and their suffering cannot be relieved in a manner tolerable to them.
• The term ‘voluntary assisted dying’ emphasises the voluntary nature of the choice of the person and their enduring capacity to make this decision.

World Polio Day is 24 October. Rotary remains committed to the program “End Polio Now”, which aims to eradicate the disease poliomyelitis through the vaccination of children throughout the world. Today there are 98 cases in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In order to achieve this, funds need to be raised.

Our Goal is to raise awareness of Polio in our communities on 24 October, and to raise $50,000 for ‘End Polio Now’ from Club sponsorships, NOT from the public.

The plan is for Rotarians from District 9423 to ride the trains throughout the WA Railway Network on Friday 24 October wearing a red Polio T-shirt promoting 'End Polio Now' and creating awareness in the public domain.

Although the event is free, you need to register so you are covered by insurance.

You can ride the trains anytime between 8am and 6.00pm, wearing your Polio T-Shirt - you can order your t-shirt if you register before 1 September.

Book here  and register for the event on the RCWE website so we know you are attending.
