Access to VAD can be seen as a new step in the shared meaning-making through which communities respond to death and dying and a new opportunity to engage communities in developing death literacy. The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) VAD legislation took effect in late 2025.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This paper describes the initial co-creation of a multi-phase project (Getting Ready) seeking to develop end-of-life choices education in partnership with ACT communities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A co-creation process involving researchers, healthcare and community organisations and community members.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A participatory action research paradigm was used.

Inter-relationships and shared values between communities were analysed and utilised to support the fostering of connections. The scope of the collaboration and key contributors to safe engagement were defined. Specific approaches to supporting community participation in Getting Ready were designed, including the development and training of community facilitators to support priority population involvement in the project.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Co-creation is a useful mechanism to enable community engagement with the development of projects and resources focused on end-of-life choices education. These approaches support the inclusion of priority populations in death literacy research and resource development. Death literacy is a safe and useful concept to explore within community education development in an environment where VAD has been recently legislated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/26323524261469209","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,6]],"date-time":"2026-08-06T06:35:49Z","timestamp":1785998149000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Co-creating end-of-life choices education: A process description of a program to explore community death-literacy in preparation for voluntary assisted dying"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1333-3448","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Chapman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Palliative Care Research Unit, Canberra Health Services, Barton, ACT, Australia"},{"name":"ANU School of medicine and psychology, Australian National University, Garran, ACT, Australia"},{"name":"University of Canberra Faculty of Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5349-5041","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kerrie","family":"Noonan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"La Trobe University, NSW, Australia"},{"name":"Western NSW Local Health District, Dubbo, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2611-1900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jennifer","family":"Tieman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Palliative Care, Death and Dying, Flinders University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8199-4673","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nathan","family":"Emmerich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ANU School of medicine and psychology, Australian National University, Garran, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Moore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Palliative Care Research Unit, Canberra Health Services, Barton, ACT, Australia"},{"name":"Health Care Consumers ACT, Chifley Health &amp; Wellbeing Hub, Chifley, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Indra","family":"Gajanayake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Palliative Care Research Unit, Canberra Health Services, Barton, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joyce","family":"Graham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Palliative Care Research Unit, Canberra Health Services, Barton, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-9845-4394","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kai Ping","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Palliative Care Research Unit, Canberra Health Services, Barton, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2819-994X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brett","family":"Scholz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ANU School of medicine and psychology, Australian National University, Garran, ACT, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/medlaw\/fwaf025"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SPC.0000000000000663"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_4_2","volume-title":"Oxford textbook of public health palliative care","author":"Kellehear A","year":"2022","unstructured":"Kellehear A.
