Abortion and contraception rules in Austria

SHAPE classifies family planning and abortion rights in Austria as restricted, combining abortion law and contraception policy.

Restricted framework

Last checked 14/09/2026 · This is information only, not advice or a recommendation.

  • Abortion: Abortion is available on request during the first three months, but statutory insurance generally covers it only when medically indicated and provider availability is uneven.
  • Contraception: EPF's 2026 contraception-policy score is 52.5%; the atlas records no national coverage recorded.
  • Interpretation: The status combines legal rules and national policy access; regional availability and individual eligibility may differ.
