Abortion can be lawfully performed where it is necessary to prevent serious danger to the woman’s
life or physical or mental health
In Queensland, social and economic considerations cannot be taken into account
(R v Bayliss and Cullen (1986)
In Queensland and NSW:
In the Northern Territory:
Abortion can be lawfully performed if “the termination is considered appropriate having regard
to the woman's current and future physical, psychological and social circumstances”
