| Public hospital systems would need to provide abortion services to qualify for federal funding under a wide-ranging new Labor plan, which will also look at improving access to some contraceptives.
As the Coalition battles perceptions it has a "woman problem," Labor is also pledging to "progress" the decriminalisation of abortion in New South Wales under its national sexual health strategy released on Wednesday.
Opposition spokesperson for women Tanya Plibersek said that if Labor is elected the Commonwealth-state hospital funding agreements "will expect termination services to be provided consistently in public hospitals".
