Medical Abortion Issues
Medical abortion has been discussed recently in politics
and the media, because changes have occurred which can make it more
possible for women in Australia to access medical abortion.
However Mifepristone (also known as RU 486, and sometimes referred to as
the 'abortion pill') still has very limited availability. Some
providers of pregnancy termination services have instead started
offering medical abortion with a drug called Methotrexate. For
more information about these options and the current status of
medical abortion in Australia, see the information sheet:
