Support Women’s Health in the Northern Rivers

Every day, women in our community face challenges that threaten their safety, wellbeing, and dignity. At Women’s Health Northern Rivers, we provide trauma-informed, culturally safe care that helps women heal, rebuild, and thrive.

Your donation directly funds professional services that make a real difference.

Supporting Abortion Access Through Our Crisis Fund

Accessing abortion care in the Northern Rivers often requires travel to Coffs Harbour or Brisbane, and many women face significant financial barriers. That’s why we established our Crisis Fund powered entirely by community donations.

Your contribution helps cover:

  • Surgical termination costs (typically $990, with partial Medicare rebate of $400)
  • Ultrasound and blood tests, often required before the procedure (additional $100–$300 depending on provider)
  • Travel and accommodation for out-of-town procedures
  • Childcare for single mothers or carers
  • Lost wages due to time off work
  • Pre and post-abortion counselling
  • Coordination and advocacy to ensure safe, dignified care

 

We offer no-interest loans to women who can repay, allowing the fund to support others in future. For those unable to repay, we provide free care – no questions asked.

If you’d like your donation to go directly to this initiative, please add “Crisis Fund” when to the donation notes.

Acknowledgement of Country

Women’s Health Northern Rivers acknowledges the Widjabul Wia-bal people of the Bundjalung Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live, work, and play.

We pay deep respect to Elders past and present, and honour the leadership of emerging Elders.

We extend our respect to all Bundjalung clan groups, and recognise the ongoing cultural and spiritual connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to Country – land, waters and sky.

We especially acknowledge the Bundjalung women who continue to care for Country, and the knowledge, wisdom and stories they share.

We are grateful to live and work on this land, and remain committed to walking together towards better health and social outcomes.
