Changes in the numbers of hospital-based abortions and outpatient early medical abortions in Victoria, 2012-22: a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: The use of outpatient early medical abortion has steadily increased in Victoria since the PBS listing of mifepristone-misoprostol, which helped ensure access to abortion during the COVID-19 pandemic. Outpatient medical abortions may eventually outnumber surgical early abortions in Victoria, but they are not always appropriate: hospitals will continue to be essential for comprehensive abortion care.PMID:38305486 | DOI:10.5694/mja2.52203 (Source: Medical Journal of Australia)

The prevalence of and factors associated with prior induced abortion among women who gave birth in Victoria, 2010-2019
CONCLUSIONS: Access to abortion care in Victoria improved during 2010-2019, but the complex interplay between contraceptive use, unintended pregnancy, and induced abortion requires further exploration by remoteness of residence. Robust information about numbers of unintended pregnancies and access to reproductive health services are needed to guide national sexual and reproductive health policy and practice.PMID:38305505 | DOI:10.5694/mja2.52202 (Source: Medical Journal of Australia)
