Deciding to have an abortion is a deeply personal choice and, in most cases, a difficult decision to make. We understand that women at all stages of their reproductive life can find themselves faced with an unexpected pregnancy or prenatal diagnosis and the challenging decision-making process that comes alongside.

If you're experiencing conflicting thoughts and emotions or need some help making sense of all the information concerning abortion, one of the best things you can do is seek support. Taking the time to explore your feelings, questions and concerns in a non-judgmental, compassionate and confidential environment is key to protecting your mental well-being, gaining clarity, and making a fully informed and confident decision.

For a safe place to talk with a trained counsellor or consultant, call the 24/7 Helpline 1300 139 313 or search for a centre local to you. We 100% respect your decision and will continue to be available for you regardless of the outcome.
