We need your help to change that.

How you can give:
⭐ Donate directly to the fund as an individual, or as a team.
⭐ Make us your charity of choice and fundraise through your Christmas party celebrations.
⭐ Make a donation on behalf of your workplace ‘secret Santa’.
⭐ Sponsor the cost of 10 sessions through your social club.
⭐Join our partner program as an organisation for long-term impact.

Every donation to the Counselling Support Fund will go directly towards providing free counselling support to women in need.

🔎A recent report by reveals the additional cost people in regional, rural and remote Australia face when experiencing pregnancy loss.

Alongside their grief and trauma, people in rural and remote communities face the 'double' isolation of:
💔 geographical barriers,
💔 social isolation,
💔 and limited access to specialist services.

☎ If you are in Queensland, our 1800 4 WOMEN phone counselling service can help you.

1800 4 WOMEN can support you with:
💟 Grief and loss counselling following miscarriage, stillbirth and neonatal death
💟 Midwifery support and advice

As well as:
💟Non-crisis mental health support
💟 Specialist domestic, family, and s*xual violence counselling
💟 Referral services

☎️ 1800 4 WOMEN is free, confidential and you don't need a referral. You’ll talk to the same qualified counsellor or midwife, and you can choose appointment times that work for you. There’s no need to travel, and the service is completely free.

Please note: 1800 4 WOMEN is not a crisis service and does not offer medical diagnoses or prescriptions. If you are in immediate danger, please call 000.

Recently, we had the chance to visit UQ for the SEXtember event, a nationwide campaign held every September that promotes positive conversations about s*x, relationships, and consent. ❤

It was an amazing opportunity to connect with young people and share the important work we do at WHEQ, empowering them to make informed decisions and encouraging respectful attitudes towards s*xuality.
