There has been a surge in support at senior levels of the Andrews government for Victoria to become the first state to legalise euthanasia, with ministers citing personal experience, including the death of a teenage daughter, in their stance.

On Wednesday, seven Labor ministers publicly backed bringing in legislation, following Health Minister Jill Hennessy's statement on Tuesday that she supported euthanasia and Parliament must seriously consider the issue.

Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford lost her 13-year-old daughter Sinead to cancer in December 2014, following a 12-week illness.

When Parliament last voted on euthanasia – Greens MP Colleen Hartland put forward a bill in 2008 – Ms Pulford voted against the issue, but now she is a supporter.
