Health minister Rachel Stephen-Smith responded on behalf of the government on Friday to the recommendations made in the End of Life Choices report.
Of the 24 recommendations made, the government has agreed or noted all of them.
Ms Stephen-Smith said the government's response reiterated its commitment to advocating for end of life choices, including voluntary assisted dying.
However, as the ACT government does not have the power to legislate on the matter, the report did not make any recommendations about the implementation of voluntary euthanasia.
The inquiry - which received 488 submissions, held 10 hearings and listened to 87 witnesses - was tasked with looking at the options currently available to dying Canberrans and to consider what an assisted dying scheme in the ACT would look like.
Many of the recommendations focused on increasing awareness and education about end of life choices and emphasising the importance of establishing a plan for an individual's end of life.
The inquiry called for funding of more professionals and volunteers in the sector and for adequate funding to be secured for an expanded Clare Holland House as Canberra grows. The government noted funding had been announced for six additional beds at the facility and would consider any additional funding needs.
It acknowledged the Health Care Consumers' Association recommendation the community would benefit from a palliative care ward at Canberra Hospital, but made no firm commitments other than stating planning for further services was under way.
The government agreed in principle to fund 'death cafes' where people can meet to discuss the issues surrounding end of life choices. Other than some evidence the term death cafes was not well received, the government acknowledged the importance of breaking down barriers to discussing death and increase education opportunities.
Ms Stephen-Smith said the government's ambition was to offer more choices for people in end of life care.
"Individuals must have the right to make their own choices at the end of their lives and we will continue to advocate for the ACT community to have the right to determine its own position on voluntary assisted dying," she said.
Work was already under way on many of the recommendations, she said, and the next step was to examine the capacity of current services and where increased services are required.
