About

Children by Choice is a non-profit organisation, committed to providing evidence based information on all pregnancy options – abortion, adoption, alternative or kinship care and parenting.

Our pregnancy options counselling, information and referral service is Queensland-wide. Our education and training operates across Australia.

We are funded by the Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney-General to provide our counselling and some of our community education services. We rely heavily on our members, supporters, and volunteers to assist us in our non-funded work, and are a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-For-Profits Commission.

ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE ABORIGINAL LAND

Children by Choice acknowledge the traditional owners of country throughout Queensland and their continued connection to land, water, culture and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

OUR KEY VALUES

We are:

• pro-choice
• collaborative

Our values mean we strive to make our service a safe space which is responsive to the needs of our clients above all else. We welcome anyone here who needs our support.

We can arrange for a translator for clients whose first language is not English.

Sex workers are welcome here, as are transgender, gender-queer, and non-binary Queenslanders.

Racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and other forms of discrimination and bullying are not tolerated at Children by Choice, and shouldn’t be tolerated anywhere.

Everyone is welcome here.
