Our new location will increase accessibility for women living north of Wollongong, particularly those who may have found the Warilla location difficult to access.

New US research reveals a disturbing consequence of abortion bans: a 7–10% rise in intimate partner violence in states with near-total restrictions. That’s an extra 9,000 incidents in 2023 alone.
Executive Director of the Illawarra Women`s Health Centre, Sally Stevenson said: “The US data is a stark warning. In New South Wales, we’ve made progress with recent reforms to expand access to abortion, but we cannot be complacent. Access is still patchy, particularly in regional areas like ours, and barriers remain, especially for women experiencing domestic and family abuse.”
