Most regions in Aotearoa New Zealand have an abortion service. If clinically appropriate, early medical abortion can be organised over the phone from anywhere in Aotearoa New Zealand. Abortion is a well-established, safe health care procedure, which you can access directly without referral from a doctor.

COST


Abortion services are free for most New Zealand citizens and residents.


Check if you're eligible for publicly funded health services in New Zealand.


You might need to pay for an ultrasound scan and prescription fees. Your abortion provider should let you know if there are any costs.


If you're not a New Zealand citizen or resident (non-resident), or not on a minimum two-year working visa you'll likely have to pay for an abortion and any aftercare costs. Abortion costs for non-New Zealand residents vary between NZ$950 and $5,500, depending on the provider and type of abortion.


Decide - the National Abortion Telehealth Service​


Everyone has their own reasons for considering or having an abortion. Only you know what’s right for you, but good information and support can help you make the decision that's best for your own health and wellbeing.


DECIDE is Aotearoa New Zealand’s National Abortion Telehealth Service. It's funded by the Ministry of Health and run by Family Planning New Zealand and Magma Healthcare. We provide information about abortion, abortion services and how people can access abortion care in New Zealand.
