There are two collectives that offer financial support for people in need of abortion, either already living in Austria or those travelling to Austria for abortion from abroad.
CHANGES for Women
CHANGES for Women is a non-profit association based in Vienna that provides financial support for abortions in Austria, mainly Vienna, to unintentionally pregnant persons. The association is financed by donations.
Support for those affected can vary depending on the person’s circumstances: complete coverage of abortion costs, partial coverage of costs, coverage of interpretation costs and/or coverage of travel costs for the purpose of the abortion.
It is absolutely necessary that you contact them before the procedure – afterwards, the costs cannot be covered, as only the clinics are billed directly! You can make contact via e-mail at hilfe@changes-for-women.org. There are no access requirements – all persons who cannot afford a required abortion can contact CHANGES for Women.
Ciocia Wienia
Ciocia Wienia provides information about reproductive rights and forms of abortion in Austria, and helps to organise travel, accommodation, the abortion procedure, and translation.
Ciocia Wienia also helps in access to anonymous birth. Whenever possible, they offer financial support.
They speak English, German, Polish and Russian.
Email address: ciocia-wienia@riseup.net
Ciocia Wienia provides a non-judgemental space for all people with an un/wanted pregnancy, regardless of their gender, nationality, legal status, and place of residency.
