WNSWLHD supports women’s choices and the right to access public health care, including access to to emotionally, culturally and physically safe abortion (termination of pregnancy) services when needed.
Accessing these services through your regular GP or in your community may not always be possible, or the right choice, for all women and their particular circumstances.
Across Western NSW we have health services available to support women making decisions about pregnancy, including access to abortion services, counselling and holistic health and social supports, and to connect you with services as close to home as possible and appropriate.
