A PERSON'S decision to access legal euthanasia could be overruled in Victoria in the future if doubts are raised about their capacity to make their own choices.
The terminally ill could also get lethal drugs within just two days, in "exceptional circumstances".
The new details about Victoria's proposed euthanasia laws emerged on Thursday with the public release of the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2017.
It allows people with "special interest" in a person's medical care to apply to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to review the decision of doctors overseeing euthanasia cases.
There would have to be a question over whether a sick person trying to access lethal medication lived in Victoria or if they had "decision-making capacity in relation to voluntary assisted dying".
Asked if this could lead to family members trying delay bids to access euthanasia, Professor Brian Owler, who chaired the ministerial advisory panel on assisted dying, said he did not anticipate so.
