Co-designing abortion care in Melbourne's north

Equitable access to contraception and abortion are fundamental components of sexual and reproductive health. Due to the sensitive nature of abortion care and potential vulnerability of the people who access these services, it is important that the needs of consumers are understood and prioritised; however, there has been very little research partnering with the community in this space. This research project aims to optimise the current model of comprehensive abortion care at Northern Health by partnering with women/gender diverse people and community stakeholders to co-design a flexible reproductive and abortion health service that is tailored to their needs and promotes equitable access.
