Abortion services: information for health practitioners
Abortion services: information for health practitioners
Information about changes in the abortion legislation and what these changes mean for health practitioners.
Whatu Tāniko
pattern
Changes were made to the abortion law in 2020 to better align the legislation with that of other health services.
These pages have information about what these changes mean for health practitioners, including training and support to become an abortion provider.
Work is still underway to support more accessible and equitable abortion services.
Guidance for practitioners currently providing abortion services can be found in the
New Zealand Aotearoa Abortion Clinical Guideline
via the Manatū Hauora website.
For those providing abortion counselling, visit the
Standard for Abortion Counselling in Aotearoa New Zealand
, published by Manatū Hauora, for further information on what abortion counselling means.
