Medical Termination of Pregnancy in Brisbane
Medical Abortion Information
A medical abortion is a safe and effective method available for pregnancies up to 9 weeks gestation. This process involves taking two different types of medications to interrupt the pregnancy and then cause the uterus (womb) to contract and expel the pregnancy. It is designed to be a private and controlled procedure that does not impact future fertility.
Process and Appointments:
- Abortion Assessment: The initial appointment where the medical team assesses your suitability for a medical abortion and discusses the procedure.
- Medical Abortion Provision: During this visit, you will receive a prescription for the medications, which you can purchase from a pharmacy. You will also be given instructions on how to take the medications at home.
- Follow-Up Appointment: A post-abortion check-up to ensure the procedure has been completed successfully and to address any concerns.
Important Considerations:
- Home Procedure: The abortion process occurs at home, so it is important to have a responsible adult present for support.
- Safety and Efficacy: Medical abortion is highly effective and does not affect your ability to become pregnant in the future.
Cost of Medical Abortion:
- Fees and Medicare Rebates: The clinic generally charges fees for abortion services, with Medicare rebates available. The out-of-pocket expense for a medical abortion is approximately AUD 300.
- Fee Exemptions: Health Care Concession Card holders and Pensioner Concession Card holders may be eligible for fee exemptions.
