Call Pregnancy Help Australia · 1300 139 313 →Our perspective—stated plainly
We are life-affirming, not value-neutral.
Held With Hope believes women and developing life have dignity. We hope every woman can give continuing her pregnancy a real, supported chance—not because fear is used against her, but because fear is met with truthful information and practical care.
We will not shame you, disguise persuasion as clinical advice, or tell you that a quiz can decide. Your medical decisions remain yours.
Decision Companion
Eight questions. No score. One clearer next step.
This takes about five minutes. Nothing is sent, stored or added to an account. You may stop at any time, use Quick exit, or go directly to practical or professional support.
- Start with immediate safety and medical care
- Check whether pressure is affecting your freedom
- Notice which option or fact is still unclear
- Bring evidence together with your values and circumstances
- Leave with questions and actions shaped by your answers
Orient yourself
Three broad paths deserve accurate information.
This is a starting map, not a complete comparison or a recommendation. A qualified clinician and relevant service should explain what applies to your health, gestation and state or territory.
Continue and consider adoption or other care
Learn about adoption, foster care, permanent care and kinship care from an appropriate Australian service. Ask about consent, legal steps, contact arrangements and emotional support.
