Eliana Close and Ben White prepared this article as part of an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship project (Enhancing end‐of‐life decision‐making: optimal regulation of voluntary assisted dying [FT190100410]) funded by the Australian Government. Ben White is the grant recipient and Eliana Close is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow on the project. The Australian Research Council had no input into the study or its findings.

Eliana Close was employed on both projects and contributed to the training content and design. Katrine Del Villar was employed in the WA project and contributed to the training content and design.
