Abortion
Abortion, also known as termination of pregnancy, is a safe and standard medical procedure used to end a pregnancy through surgical intervention or by taking medication that causes the contents of the uterus to be expelled.
We understand that women at all stages of their reproductive life can find themselves faced with making the difficult decision to terminate a pregnancy. Our services provide women with a supportive, compassionate and confidential environment to discuss and assess available options.
At MSI Australia, we assist you in deciding the right procedure for you, depending on your preferences and the stage of the pregnancy. Patients with or without Medicare cards, who are undergoing a termination of pregnancy procedure at MSI Australia, are eligible for a free STI check by assessment or at your request.
Our expert team can also fit long-acting contraceptive methods after your procedure. To find out which method suits you best, use our contraceptive quiz.
You do not need a referral from your doctor to make a booking. To discuss your options or make an appointment, please call us on 1300 003 707.
