South Australia: Legislation in 1969 legalised abortion in South Australia when necessary to protect the life or physical or mental health of the woman – taking into account the current and reasonably foreseeable future – or in cases when the child was likely to be born with serious handicaps. Abortions must be performed before a time limit – possibly 22–23 weeks of pregnancy, certainly 28 weeks. Abortions must be performed in a hospital and be approved by two physicians, and are also subject to a residency requirement. The hospital, dual approval and residency requirement may be waived in an emergency. In reality, abortions in South Australia are available for free and in many cases on the spot at the Pregnancy Advisory Centre.[10] This facility is a registered hospital with multiple doctors available for approval and residency requirements are not checked against ID. Both medical and surgical abortions are performed.
