Medical termination of pregnancy services are available through our clinic. A consultation is required to discuss your situation, confirm eligibility and explain the process. No referral is needed.
Who this is for
Is medical termination of pregnancy the right starting point?
A service category is a starting point, not a diagnosis. The clinician may recommend a different appointment, referral, follow-up or preparation step after review.
No referral needed
You do not need a referral from another doctor to access this service.
Eligibility and timing
Eligibility depends on gestational age and individual circumstances. The clinician will explain what applies to your situation at the consultation.
What to expect
Process and preparation
The exact appointment depends on symptoms, preparation, suitability and clinician judgement.
Appointment process
Eligibility, timing and options discussion
The consultation covers your medical history, pregnancy timing, current symptoms, medicines, support needs and all available options. The clinician explains eligibility, what may happen next, follow-up care and support resources before any decision is made.
Ultrasound and blood test assessment
Assessment may include an ultrasound and blood tests to confirm gestational age, location of the pregnancy, blood group and clinical suitability. Your clinician will advise what is needed for your circumstances.
Consent, treatment explanation and follow-up
Treatment is provided only when eligibility is confirmed and you have given informed consent. The clinician explains the medication process, expected symptoms, warning signs and follow-up plan. Follow-up is arranged to confirm completion and check on your wellbeing.
Preparation
What to bring
Bring your Medicare card and any recent test results if available. You do not need a referral.
Support person
You are welcome to bring a support person to your appointment.
Safety and expectations
Risks, limits and aftercare
Read the limits and aftercare notes before booking so the next step matches your concern and urgency.
Risks and limitations
Eligibility and timing limits
Eligibility depends on gestational timing, ultrasound or blood test findings and individual medical circumstances. If the timing or assessment is outside the clinic pathway, the clinician will discuss referral or other options.
Conditions that may change the pathway
Possible ectopic pregnancy, an intrauterine device in place, significant medical conditions, allergy or medication contraindications can change what is safe or appropriate. These are assessed before treatment.
Urgent symptoms are not routine care
Heavy bleeding, severe or worsening pain, fever, feeling faint, shoulder-tip pain or feeling seriously unwell needs urgent medical care rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
Do not send clinical details through the contact form
For privacy and safety, please do not submit clinical details, pregnancy information or medication questions through the general website contact form. Call the clinic directly or book a consultation.
Aftercare and follow-up
Expected symptoms and home monitoring
Bleeding and cramping are expected at some stage, but the amount, timing and intensity vary. Your clinician will explain what is expected for you and when symptoms are outside the usual range.
Completion confirmation
Follow-up is an important part of care. Your clinician will arrange the appropriate review or testing to confirm the process is complete and to check on your wellbeing.
When to seek urgent care
Seek urgent medical care for heavy bleeding, severe pain, fever, faintness, shoulder-tip pain, persistent worsening symptoms or any symptom that feels unsafe to wait on.

Emotional support is part of care. Healthdirect Australia (healthdirect.gov.au) provides reliable information about reproductive health services and support options. The 1800 My Options helpline (1800 696 784) is a confidential referral service for pregnancy support in Australia.
