The Victorian government is launching a free virtual women's health clinic to improve access to services like contraception and abortion. The clinic, set to launch mid-year, will offer telehealth and online consultations for medical advice, treatment, and care for various women's health needs.
Victoria announces free virtual health clinic for women The Victorian government has announced a free virtual women’s health clinic to help reduce barriers to services such as contraception and abortion. The health minister, Mary-Anne Thomas, has announced the new clinic will launch in the middle of the year to offer free medical advice, treatment and care for a range of women’s health needs. Available via telehealth or online, it will offer an initial health assessment and some treatments.
Thomas says it will reduce barriers to care, including for women in regional and remote Victoria where access to services like contraception and abortion is hard due to distance from major towns. I know that there are women in girls too, that need access to both medical or surgical termination of pregnancy and they don’t know where to start. The virtual women’s health clinic will be able to provide MTOP services to women and girls with this assistance of GPs.
