Tasmania regulation
These regulations specify which organisations count as "prescribed health services" under the Reproductive Health (Access to Terminations) Act 2013, require a medical practitioner who provides the statutory list of options to include contact details for each listed service, and make an offence under the Act an infringement offence carrying a penalty of 2 penalty units. They mainly affect medical practitioners (adding a short compliance task and a small penalty risk), the named organisations (receiving listed contact exposure) and people seeking terminations (access to contact details).
