I am around 3 weeks pregnant and do not want to continue. What are my options in Sydney?

At 3 weeks from your last menstrual period, you are in the very early stages of pregnancy. It is generally recommended to wait until at least 6 weeks gestation before booking an abortion appointment, as this is when a pregnancy can usually be confirmed on an ultrasound. If the appointment is too early to confirm the pregnancy, it may not be possible to proceed safely at that visit. We recommend contacting our team as soon as you can so we can advise on the right timing for your appointment. Call 1300 003 707 or book online at msiaustralia.org.au. No referral is needed and our team is here to support you without judgement.

Medical abortion is available up to 9 weeks gestation (63 days from the first day of your last menstrual period) in New South Wales. At MSI Westmead, medical abortion is a one-stop in-clinic service available up to 9 weeks, or it can be accessed by telehealth for those who prefer a home-based option. If you are past 9 weeks, surgical abortion is available at our Westmead clinic up to 20 weeks gestation.

What is the cut-off time for abortion in NSW?

Under the Abortion Law Reform Act 2019 (NSW), a termination of pregnancy can be performed by a prescribed health practitioner on request up to 22 weeks gestation. After 22 weeks, a termination may only be performed by a specialist medical practitioner if they consider there are sufficient grounds, in a hospital or approved health facility.

At MSI Westmead, surgical abortion is available up to 20 weeks gestation, and medical abortion is available up to 9 weeks. If you are over 10 weeks, we recommend calling our team directly on 1300 003 707 so we can discuss the right pathway for your situation.

Can a GP prescribe abortion medication in NSW?

Yes. Under New South Wales law, GPs are able to prescribe abortion medication for pregnancies up to 9 weeks gestation. However, not all GPs in Western Sydney or NSW offer this service.
