Achieving Equal Access: Abortion Care in Australia
In Australia, we want a world-class health care system. Health care that everyone can access – regardless of where we live or who we are. This includes deciding whether and when to become a parent, or to grow our families, which requires access to sexual and reproductive health information and services, including contraception and abortion care.
The Human Rights Law Centre endorsed this position paper, which was authored by Australian Women’s Health Network (AWHN), Children by Choice, Fair Agenda, MSI Australia and the Global and Women’s Health, School of Public Health and Preventative Medicine - Monash University. This resource aims to support the changes we need, by explaining the issues around abortion care in Australia. It also shares experiences from women who have accessed abortion care in Australia.
