The number of countries introducing voluntary assisted dying (VAD) laws is increasing. Actively taking steps to end a person's life is contentious so implementing these laws into healthcare services presents unique challenges. Theoretically underpinned by the Advocacy Coalition Framework, this study identified the beliefs of classes of stakeholders who engaged with the parliamentary process associated with the introduction of VAD laws in Queensland, Australia. Submissions about VAD made to a parliamentary inquiry were allocated to a class and qualitatively analysed to identify underlying beliefs. The data were then subjected to statistical analysis including nonmetric dimensional scaling and one-way analysis of similarity. Data visualisation techniques were used to generate a chord map and heatmap, to identify the belief types, as well as similarities and differences between beliefs and among classes. Fourteen different beliefs were identified in the 91 reviewed submissions. Six were deep core beliefs and eight were policy core beliefs. Beliefs could be associated with a positive or negative sentiment toward VAD. In this study, the class of Health Services expressed more negative sentiments to VAD than neutral or positive sentiments. The sentiments expressed by the class of Health Professionals were equally divided between positive, neutral and negative. These findings provide important insights for implementors as laws become operational. In particular, for organisations that provide health services, clear articulation of their stance in relevant policy and guidance documents is recommended.
