Where to Get an Abortion in Australia

In Australia, accessing abortion services can vary depending on the state or territory in which you reside, as abortion laws and regulations differ across jurisdictions.

In the diverse landscape of healthcare services in Australia, accessing abortion services remains a topic of significant importance and complexity. With a patchwork of laws and regulations governing abortion across different states and territories, individuals seeking this essential healthcare procedure often encounter varied challenges and uncertainties.

In this guide, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the avenues available for accessing abortion services in Australia.

For more information on where to get an Abortion in Australia, costs involved, and processes, please see our article on How to Get an Abortion in Australia.

We update the list on where to get an abortion in Australia regularly.

It’s important to note that abortion laws and regulations, as well as access to services, may change over time, so it’s advisable to check with local healthcare providers or organisations for the most up-to-date information and resources available in your area.

Additionally, some states or territories may require counseling or waiting periods before accessing abortion services.
