We understand that everyone’s story is different, shaped by culture, faith, family, and experiences before coming to Australia. Every person has the right to make decisions about their own body, to access safe and respectful reproductive healthcare, and to be treated with dignity.
Our counsellors offer free, confidential, and non-judgemental support to talk about your pregnancy options. We can also help connect you with interpreting services and community health providers who understand your needs and can provide culturally safe care.
We can help cover the cost for people who need abortion care and can’t afford it. Call us to check your eligibility for financial support.

Attending catholic school and having the nuns show us films that were abortion propaganda also reinforced the 'anti-abortion' view.

I had a relatively new relationship I liked and thought a child not wanted by both, would jeopardise a relationship I was happy in, for one as a single parent.
When I spoke to my GP, she was amazing, was completely non-judgemental, and offered a referral and support letter for access to an abortion, if I wanted one.
When I accidentally became pregnant in my mid-20s, I was, in theory, in a much better place both financially and emotionally.
The first thing I felt was shame. Not because I thought it was wrong, but because I was worried about what my family and community would think.
As a teen growing up I even thought how having a baby would be an escape from having to grow up. At 22, I fell pregnant as I wasn't being consistent with my birth control pills. I knew immediately that I was getting an abortion.
I wish there wasn't such difference between health practitioners and I wish there was more we could do about those who make us feel lesser for choosing abortion.
