Members of the New South Wales (NSW) Legislative Council will progress to a final vote on the Voluntary Assisted Dying bill this week, as the debate over amendments resumes from Tuesday.

A number of politicians, unions, charity organisations and pro-euthanasia groups on Tuesday gathered together to urge upper house members to support the bill.
