Pregnancy Helpline

The National Pregnancy Support Helpline

Free, confidential, professional telephone counselling for women or their partners who are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy.

The National Pregnancy Support Helpline provides counselling and support to women, their partners or their families, who are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy or who are uncertain about continuing with a pregnancy.

Counselling on the Helpline is free, confidential and professional, and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Helpline offers non-directive counselling on all three options in relation to pregnancy:

• proceeding with the pregnancy and raising the child;
• proceeding with the pregnancy and adopting; and
• terminating the pregnancy.

If you or your partner – or someone you know – wants to talk about an unplanned pregnancy, counsellors on the National Pregnancy Support Helpline are available to listen.
