No one should fall through the cracks when it comes to accessing vital healthcare.
While abortion is now legal across the country, whether or not you can actually access one is a postcode lottery.
Many private abortion facilities have closed, leaving many with little choice but to travel hundreds of kilometres and spend hundreds of dollars to get one – particularly those in regional and remote areas. This must change.
Everyone deserves access to safe, affordable reproductive healthcare.
Yet nearly half of all public hospitals are not equipped to provide termination services.
Abortions are healthcare and should be affordable and accessible to everyone, no matter where they live.
That’s why the Greens have a plan to provide $100 million a year to ensure all public hospitals provide abortion services, moving the conversation from legality to affordability and accessibility.
We cannot take our rights for granted.
Did you know?
After decades of advocacy, Western Australia became the last state to decriminalise abortion in 2023 – a monumental victory.
Yet the newly elected Queensland Government could allow these rights to be backtracked, and recent legislative threats to reproductive rights in South Australia and the US remind us just how fragile abortion rights can be.
The Greens will always prioritise free, safe abortions for everyone across Australia.
Access to reproductive healthcare is not just about legality. It’s about health equity and human rights. Join the campaign to make abortions available, affordable, and stigma-free for everyone.
