Connecting people with information, services, and support
We're working to improve access to abortion services and to help people get the information, services, and support they need to be healthy and well.
The National Abortion Telehealth Service project provides this website, web chat and a free phone number (0800 DECIDE), so people can find out about abortion services in Aotearoa New Zealand and how to access abortion care.
We also provide telemedicine to provide early medical abortion services over the phone.
It's another option so that people have more choice about services.
