Is a referral required for abortion services in Brisbane?

In many cases, you don't need a referral to access abortion services, especially through private clinics or telehealth providers. However, if you're going through a public hospital or want to access certain Medicare rebates, your GP may provide a referral. Clinic 66 can guide you through the process.

Can I access abortion services in Brisbane if I'm not a resident of QLD?

Yes, you can still access abortion services in Brisbane even if you're not a Queensland resident. Clinics and healthcare providers generally treat patients based on need, not residency status. The main difference may be costs or Medicare eligibility, so it's worth confirming details with the provider before booking.

Is it safe to have an abortion?

In Australia, abortion is a safe procedure performed by qualified healthcare professionals. Complication rates are low, and serious risks are rare, especially when the procedure is done early in pregnancy and under proper medical care.

Types of Abortions

If you're considering an abortion in Brisbane, a Clinic 66 healthcare professional can help you determine the best way forward. Both medical and surgical abortions are safe options provided by many reputable abortion clinics in Brisbane, but depending on your circumstances, your GP may recommend one over the other.

Surgical abortions

If you’re more than nine weeks pregnant, or you prefer to have a surgical procedure then you may consider a surgical abortion to remove the pregnancy tissue. While this is more involved than a medical abortion, surgical abortions are still safe, quick, and effective. You’ll spend a short time recovering at the clinic before being allowed to leave, usually with someone to support you at home.

Medical abortion

If you’re less than nine weeks pregnant (meaning nine weeks since your last menstrual period), you are likely eligible for a medical abortion in Perth. This option uses medication rather than surgery to end a pregnancy and involves taking two prescribed medicines in a specific order — the first stops the pregnancy from progressing by blocking the hormone needed to sustain it, and the second, taken 24–48 hours later, prompts the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue. Access to the abortion pill Perth is available through local clinics, some GPs and telehealth services like Clinic 66.

What to Expect

Initial consultation

We’ll start by scheduling a confidential consultation with one of our experienced healthcare professionals. During this session, we'll discuss your options, answer any questions you may have, and determine the most appropriate course of action, whether that’s a medical or surgical termination.

Frequently asked questions

In Queensland, you can have an abortion up to 22 weeks of pregnancy with the approval of a doctor. After 22 weeks, the procedure is still possible, but it requires approval from two doctors, who must agree that the termination is appropriate based on your medical situation and overall circumstances. If you’re considering your options, you should seek advice as early as possible, as this gives you more choices.

Some abortion services in Queensland are partially covered by Medicare, particularly consultations and certain procedures, but it depends on where you go and the type of care you receive. Public hospitals may provide abortion services at low or no cost for eligible patients, while private clinics usually involve out-of-pocket fees. If you’re concerned, Clinic 66 can help you understand exactly what your costs might be.

Abortion is safe, legal and decriminalised in Brisbane and across Queensland. You can access abortion on request up to 22 weeks, and beyond that point with approval from two doctors. The law also ensures privacy and safety, including protected zones around clinics, and requires healthcare providers who object to abortion to refer you to someone who can help. You have the right to make an independent, informed choice.

After an abortion, it’s normal to experience bleeding and cramping, similar to a heavy period. Other short-term side effects can include nausea, fatigue, or mild discomfort, depending on the method used. Complications are uncommon, but it’s important to seek medical advice if you have uncommonly heavy bleeding, fever, or ongoing pain. Your healthcare provider will give you clear aftercare instructions and support if you need it.
