When it comes to terminations in our clinic, the cost of a medical versus surgical termination is the same for overseas visitors.
A surgical termination can be claimed with most private health insurance policies (we advise you check with your provider) whereas medical terminations are not.
The reason the cost of a medical termination is so high for overseas visitors is that the Australian government heavily subsidies the cost for Australian residents. The cost of the tablets alone is roughly $355.
If a Medical Termination fails or is incomplete, a surgical termination may be required. This comes at an additional cost. The possibility of needing a second termination needs to be considered when weighing up the options between a medical and surgical abortion.
Make sure you ask our staff any questions either over the phone or when you come in for your appointment. We are here to help you make the right decision for you.
