Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander
At Children by Choice, we support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to make informed and confident choices about pregnancy, parenting, and reproductive health.
We know that connection to Country, culture, community, and kin is central to wellbeing. Every person has the right to safe, respectful, and culturally appropriate care when it comes to their body and their future.
We acknowledge that colonisation and ongoing systemic barriers have impacted access to reproductive healthcare. We are committed to listening, learning, and working with communities to make sure every person can make the choices that are right for them; in their own time, and their own way.
Our counsellors offer free, confidential, and non-judgemental support to talk through your pregnancy options and provide decision making support.
