Answer #1

Hi,

Abortion in Australia remains a subject of state law rather than national law. There is no law anywhere in Australia that requires the notification or consent of a woman’s partner. There is also no enforced waiting period for an abortion.

Except in Western Australia, a minor does not require parental consent or notification.

If you live in Western Australia and are under 18, you do need parental consent.

Answer #2

Without parental permission - you have to be 18
