Abortion Law Reform Act 2008 : incorporating amendments as at 1 July 2012

07/06/2012/in Victoria /by admin

Source: Victorian Consolidated Acts, no. 58 of 2008

Status – CURRENT

The Framework identifies health needs particular to women (whether biological or social), promotes delivery of appropriate healthcare and health-promoting services,  and supports monitoring the impact of interventions on groups of women at most risk of poor health. The Framework focuses on issues where the detrimental health impact is disproportionately experienced by women, or where the response is different for women than for men.  The Framework places women at the centre of decision-making for their own health, and acknowledges women’s health is impacted by many factors including housing, rurality, employment and access to services.  As health outcomes are influenced by the cumulative effect over time of social determinants, a life stage approach is used to structure opportunities for enhanced delivery of services and programs.

Women and abortion : Issues Paper

05/06/2010/in Victoria /by admin

Published: Women’s Health Victoria, 2010 – (Women’s Health Issues Paper; 6)

Status – CURRENT

Covers: surgical and medical abortion, late-term abortion, number of abortions, current legal context, access to abortion, attitudes to abortion, abortion myths, current issues in Victoria, and good practice in abortion service provision. Although abortion is now legalised in Victoria, there remain ongoing issues relating to the ability of women to access services. Measures are needed to improve access to termination services, raise awareness about the options available to women, and initiatives that address unintended pregnancy.
