Exclusive: the service named after former prime minister Tony Abbott is no longer financially viable.
A national postal abortion service has shut down after almost four years, leaving women across the country with fewer options to terminate a pregnancy using abortion drugs RU486.The Tabbot Foundation was founded in Sept. 2015 by Dr Paul Hyland, who said his service had provided medical terminations to around 6,000 Australian women living"as far east as Lord Howe Island and as far west as Rottnest Island".
The service provided terminations in all jurisdictions except South Australia and many of the foundation's patients were in regional, rural and remote locations. A prescription for RU486 today costs $38.80 on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and $6.40 with a health care card, but in regions where the pills are only provided privately, it can cost upwards of $500.
