MSI Asia Pacific is an Australian-based NGO, part of the MSI Reproductive Choices global partnership (MSI), which has been providing sexual and reproductive healthcare services for over 45 years. Our 9,000 team members worldwide work across 37 countries providing contraception, comprehensive abortion care, and maternal healthcare services wherever they’re needed – from major cities to rural, hard-to-reach villages.
MSI Asia Pacific serves as the Public Engagement and Project Management office for MSI in Australia and the Asia Pacific region. Working with key institutional donors, foundations and individual supporters, we lead on advocacy and policy engagement and oversee high-quality programming using funds from this region.
Marie Stopes founded the Marie Stopes Women’s Clinic in London in 1925. In 1975, our founders Tim Black CBE, Jean Black and Phil Harvey purchased the Clinic and began the modern MSI organisation.
Today, the legacy of Marie Stopes, the woman, is deeply entangled with her views on eugenics: opinions which are in stark contrast to our values and principles. Although our organisation was not founded by Marie Stopes, there were understandable misapprehensions that MSI had a meaningful connection to her and her views. So, on 17th November 2020, our global partnership changed its name to MSI Reproductive Choices to reflect our fundamental focus on choice. In late 2021, our Australia-based office followed, changing our name to MSI Asia Pacific.
MSI was built on the views of our founders, who believed that by treating women as individuals – and providing client-centred, high quality, compassionate care – they could empower women to take control of their lives and pursue the future of their choice, on their terms.
Yes, all donations over $2 in Australia are tax deductible.
90% on program delivery and support
MSI Asia Pacific’s International Programs expenditure represented 90% of total expenditure in 2022, ensuring the majority of funds are spent in country and support office costs remain low.
3% on fundraising
We are a social business that understands philanthropy and aid cannot be relied upon indefinitely. We self-fund some of our work by generating a surplus in clinic networks, such as in the United Kingdom and Australia. We also work to develop sustainable approaches, generating income where possible and working within existing health systems to leverage resources. For these reasons, we invest very little in fundraising when compared to other international development organisations.
7% accounting and administration
As with any other business, there are administrative and accounting duties that must be done in support of our work, so we can continue to serve the women that need us most. For additional information on how MSI Asia Pacific derived these figures, please view our latest annual report.

We use the terms ‘women’ or ‘women and girls’ as most of our clients worldwide are assigned female at birth. We recognise that the term ‘women’ can encompass a wide variety of experiences and identities (including but not limited to cis and trans women). We also recognise that men, non-binary people and people who do not identify as women or girls require access to our services too.
At MSI we endeavour to ensure our services are as inclusive as possible and cater to the needs of everyone. We aim to provide quality, caring and non-judgemental services to everyone, irrespective of age, ability, gender, identity, sexual orientation or expression, or any other factor.
We acknowledge that the term ‘family planning’ implies that contraception services are just for married couples, who already have families or are planning to start a family. Based on our client data, we know that many unmarried or unpartnered individuals, including many adolescents, use our services already and we want to ensure they don’t feel excluded.
At MSI, we believe that anyone, regardless of their relationship status, age or life experience, should have a safe and satisfying sex life, and access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care which enables this. We aim to provide everyone with services that meet their individual needs, where and when they need them, free from shame and stigma.
The term ‘family planning’ is still widely used within the health and development sectors, so we do still use the term, but acknowledge that contraception services should be readily available for everyone, regardless of their relationship status, including those who do not have, or are not planning a family.
