🔎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.
