Like many Western European countries, Austria provides a relatively progressive health care environment. You can find a wide range of contraceptives, such as birth control pills, condoms, IUDs, birth control shots, birth control rings, birth control patches, and birth control injectables. However, most contraceptive methods require a prescription, which can either be administered by a health care professional in Austria or abroad. You can also get free contraceptive counseling at Pro:Woman, a health organization that focuses on sexual and reproductive health care. Furthermore, you can obtain emergency contraceptive pills (the morning after pill) without a prescription at pharmacies or clinics. You will need to pay out-of-pocket, as ECPs are not reimbursed by the Austrian health care system.

There are many hospitals, clinics, and initiatives related to women's health and autonomy in Austria. If you would like to visit a gynecologist, please visit the "Gynecological Exams" section on this page for local recommendations. If you are pregnant and employed in Austria, you are entitled to maternity leave, and you can also take parental leave. Finally, regarding abortion law in Austria, it is legally permitted and available upon request if it is performed before the 16th week of pregnancy.

Generally speaking, Austria provides many resources for women, but there are still improvements to be made. Homosexuality is legal, homosexual civil union are recognized, changing gender is legal, and there are legal protections for LGBTQI people related to housing discrimination. However, there are only laws against employment discrimination related to sexual orientation (not to gender identity).<ref>[http://www.equaldex.com/region/austria Equaldex - LGBT Rights in Austria]</ref> Furthermore, the gender pay gap in Austria is among the highest in the European Union, and NGO research has found a lack of feminist issues covered in mainstream Austrian media.<ref>[https://www.genderindex.org/country/austria/ GenderIndex - Austria]</ref>

Men and women also hold equal rights to land, financial services, and other major aspects of Austrian society. However, the gender pay gap in Austria is among the highest in the European Union.<ref>[https://www.genderindex.org/country/austria/ GenderIndex - Austria]</ref>
