Join Larissa Waters and Penny Allman-Payne for a free community forum on abortion access and reproductive health services across Australia, particularly in remote and regional areas.
Access to safe, legal abortion remains a postcode lottery in Australia, with different rules, costs and availability depending on where you live. Some people are having to travel for hours at significant expense to access this basic healthcare service.
Hear from experts about the current situation and what’s needed to fix access inequality. Ask questions, share stories, and join the campaign to make sure reproductive healthcare is available to everyone who needs it.
This is a FREE ticketed event hosted in Brisbane. We understand that it can be confronting to discuss these issues in public, so you are also welcome to join the livestream from home.
