A Queensland inquiry into aged care and assisted dying should be held as soon as possible, advocates say.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced on Sunday that a wide-ranging parliamentary review would look at a range of issues including palliative care and assisted dying for terminally ill adults.

Voluntary euthanasia advocates have called on the Queensland government to fast-track its inquiry.

The announcement comes after Victoria passed assisted dying laws last year and a parliamentary committee recently recommended the introduction of legislation in Western Australia.

Clem Jones Trust chairman David Muir said the announcement was "not before time".
