The advocacy group has been pushing for legislation allowing terminally ill people the choice of a medically assisted death.

The Premier Gladys Berejiklian has ruled out any more conscience votes this parliamentary term after the bitter debate over abortion law reform threatened to engulf her leadership.

A cross-party bill to decriminalise abortion in NSW passed the lower house in August but is yet to be debated in the upper house after the Premier intervened and delayed the vote after criticism the legislation had been rushed.

Ms Berejiklian had been criticised from within her own party for allowing the bill to be voted on without any community consultation.

Ms Quadroy said she had hoped assisted dying would feature this parliamentary term.

"Clearly it is off the political agenda which is extremely disappointing," she said.

"We had hoped a draft bill would be presented later this year."

Ms Quadroy said if an assisted dying legislation had any hope of passing it would need to be a "government-sponsored bill".

"Unfortunately it is proven pretty much across the world that to successfully pass an assisted dying bill it needs to be government-sponsored to have any hope of success," she said.

"This is what happened in Victoria, in Western Australia it is going to be a government-sponsored bill so we are hopeful there," Ms Quadroy said.

"If the Government is not interested in sponsoring the bill than it is just not going to happen."

Ms Quadroy said she empathised with the predicament of the Premier though.

"I can understand the Premier's position in that she is being monstered by various right-wing factions over abortion law reform and she clearly doesn't want to have a repeat over assisted dying legislation," she said.

In 2017 a cross-party bill to legalise voluntary assisted dying failed to pass the New South Wales' Upper House by a single vote.

The bill would have allowed terminally ill patients over the age of 25 to end their own lives with the help of doctors.
