Each year the ACT Right to Life Association Inc produces a
publication detailing the latest abortion statistics for the Australian Capital Territory.
The reports are based on the statistics tabled by the Health Minister in the ACT
Legislative Assembly each quarter for each of the abortion facilities in the Territory, as
required by the Health Regulation (Maternal Health Information) Act 1998.
The statistics tabled by the Health Minister are not aggregated and, as tabled unpublished
documents, are not easily accessible to the general public. The ACT Right to Life
Association produces an annual compilation and analysis of these statistics to make the
information more accessible to the general public, to encourage public debate on this
important issue and most importantly to try to find ways to address the concerns of women
so that there are fewer abortions.
