Protect Victorian Women's Health Services

We all deserve access to quality healthcare that we can trust.

The previous Victorian government expanded funding to women's health clinics and services that are ensuring vital access to sexual and reproductive healthcare free and close to home.

But funding for Victoria's women's health infrastructure is due to run out in June 2027. And right now the ALP and Coalition have not committed to further funding.

Labor and Liberal have made headlines by committing to make abortion free - but haven't yet committed to protect some of the vital community health infrastructure that makes sure these and other reproductive and sexual health services are available in communities.

In the lead up to election day candidates and parties are particularly sensitive to public pressure. By taking action together, we can show them that we expect our government and representatives to invest in the services we need and rely on.

I am writing to ask your party to commit to extend funding for Victoria's women's health services, to guarantee their continued work.

I'm very concerned that currently vital women's health services across the state - including women's health clinics, sexual and reproductive health hubs and Aboriginal women's health clinics - don't have their funding guaranteed beyond June 2027.

Free women's health clinics help women get specialist care without worrying about another bill. They also provide vital services for women - including treatment for conditions like endometriosis, menopause and contraception and abortion.

It is deeply concerning that funding for vital services and programs is due to run out in June 2027. Women deserve to know that the care we rely on will be there when we need it. I want to see these services treated as a permanent part of the healthcare system, and given permanent funding.

I was really pleased to see your commitment to free abortion care up until 16 weeks; but am worried that without guaranteed funding, communities will lose these local and trusted abortion care providers.

Please commit to funding these vital services before the election.

I look forward to your response, and clarity on the party's position on this issue.
