The NSW Ministry of Health is seeking an Expression of Interest (EOI) to deliver additional low-no cost abortion care services to address access barriers, particularly cost barriers, for women in NSW to access abortion care in a timely, safe and accessible manner. The allocation of funding under the Supporting Safe Access to Abortion Care Grant Fund (Grant Fund) is available to individual NGO and community-based service providers and consortium-based models. Both not-for-profit and for-profit entities are eligible to apply.
The intended outcome of the Grant Fund is women in NSW who may experience barriers to safe and affordable abortion care services, particularly for socially, economically and geographically disadvantaged women, have greater access to additional community-based low-no cost abortion care (both medical and surgical abortion services).
The EOI Guidelines: Supporting Safe Access to Abortion Care Grant Fund provides all information related to the grant opportunity, including:
