Medicare-funded telehealth vital for abortion access
Medicare-rebated telehealth improves access to medical abortion and is more likely to be used by patients living in regional and remote areas according to new research from Family Planning Australia.
The research study, published in the journal Sexual Health, supports the need for Medicare-rebated telehealth to promote equitable access to medical abortion.

Introducing Family Planning Australia
We are happy to announce that Family Planning NSW is rebranding to Family Planning Australia.
As Family Planning Australia, we will continue our mission to enhance the reproductive and sexual health and rights of our communities by supporting all people to have control over and decide freely on all matters related to reproductive and sexual health throughout their lives.
Teen birth rates rising in rural and remote NSW
Family Planning NSW has released a new report documenting the rates of 15 to 19-year-olds who gave birth across NSW, showing stark differences between teen birth rates in metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas.
Medical abortion access during COVID-19
To coincide with International Safe Abortion Day, Family Planning NSW has released data on medical abortion provision during the early stages of Australia’s COVID-19 pandemic. The data, extracted from a forthcoming study, demonstrates medical abortion uptake by clients from priority health populations, including young people, people in regional and remote areas, people speaking a language other than English at home and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Family Planning NSW - Roe v Wade Position Statement
Family Planning NSW strongly supports abortion being safe, lawful, accessible and affordable. We work with people every day navigating their pregnancy choices and accordingly, treat abortion as an essential aspect of reproductive healthcare.
We are an organisation deeply concerned by moves anywhere in the world which wind back people's access to essential healthcare.
The SEARCH Project
The SEARCH Project is a new health service model from Family Planning Australia that aims to improve access to essential reproductive and sexual health services for women in NSW.
