§97 StGB, of 1 January 1975:
(1) An act is not liable to punishment,

where the abortion is performed by a physician during the first three months from the beginning of the pregnancy and after a previous medical consultation; or
where the abortion is necessary to avert a serious danger, not to be averted by other means, to the life or to the physician or mental health of the pregnant woman, or where a serious danger exists that the child may be afflicted with a serious physician or mental defect, or where the woman was under 14 years of age when she became pregnant; the abortion has been performed by a physician in all these cases; or
where the abortion is performed to save the pregnant woman from an immediate danger to her life, which could not otherwise be averted, under circumstances where medical aid was not available in time.
(2) No physician is obliged to perform an abortion or to take part in it, except where it is necessary without delay to save the life of the pregnant woman from an immediately threatening danger which cannot otherwise be averted. This applies also to persons in para-medical, medico-technical, or auxiliary health employments.

(3) No one may be in any way disadvantaged because he or she has performed a justified abortion, or taken part in it, or because he or she has refused to perform or take part in such an abortion.

Access to abortion is legal without a waiting period, nor an obligatory counselling in a counselling institution. Also the country of origin of the woman has no importance and women from other countries have the same access to abortion as women from Austria. Furthermore abortions are not notifiable in Austria and the names and contact details are not shared with anyone.
