About Exit International

Exit International is a leading Voluntary Euthanasia / Assisted Suicide information & advocacy organisation.  Exit was founded by Dr Philip Nitschke in 1997 after the over-turning of the world's first Voluntary Euthanasia law - the Rights of the Terminally Ill (ROTI) Act.

Exit has a small staff secretariat and has offices is Australia, Bellingham (WA) and the Republic of Ireland. Exit is supported by an active network of more than 50 volunteers around the world.

The average age of Exit members is 75 years.  Most Exit International members are well.

Exit's internal polling has found that most people join Exit because they believe in a person's right to make informed decisions about when & how they may die.  The vast majority want to be prepared for the contingencies of the future & consider an end-of-life plan a responsible course of action.

A significant minority of Exit members are seriously or terminally ill.
