There's an assumption that it's relatively easy to access abortion care in Australia, but that really depends on where in the country you live, particularly if it's outside of a major city.

It's estimated as many as a third of Australian women need to access abortion services at some point during their lives.

So why is it still so hard if you live in the wrong postcode?
