About the 1800 My Options database
1800 My Options, an independent service funded by the Victorian State Government and provided by Women's Health Victoria, provides non-preferential and non-biased information and referrals to women seeking pregnancy options, contraceptive and sexual health services.

We collect this information to enable us to refer women in your area to you, as appropriate.

When you register for the 1800 My Options database you can choose to be on our public or private database:
Public: your information is accessible to the public via the 1800 My Options website;
Private: your information is only accessible to the 1800 My Options team, in order to provide information directly to women seeking services or health professionals over the phone.
When you register your services with us, your location will be geo-mapped. That is, your street address and relevant contact details, together with a summary of the services you provide (as notified by you to us) will be listed in an online and interactive map. This enables us to search for specific services in a particular area.
If you consent to your information being public via the 1800 My Options website, your information will be made available to third parties through this map on the 1800 My Options website. If you consent to the private database, your information will be stored on a separate server and will not be made available through the 1800 My Options website, and will be on a map only available to 1800 My Options staff in order to make appropriate referrals by phone.
We rely on you to provide us with accurate and up-to-date information to ensure that our database and referral service is effective. Should your details change, or should you want to change the public or private status of your information, please contact us and we will update our database accordingly. If you wish to no longer be part of the database, please contact us and we will deregister your service from the database as soon as practicable.
