Contraception
We can help provide knowledge, advice and access to a range of contraceptive methods. Our practitioners are experienced,
trauma-informed and here to advocate for you and your body.
Access to contraception is a vital resource that allows women and people who menstruate to be the ones to determine their own path. Access to contraception reduces risks to poverty.
The Pill
The combined hormonal contraceptive pill (the Pill) is made up of two hormones, an oestrogen and a progestogen. These hormones are similar to the ones made in your ovaries. Many brands of the Pill are available which all have different types and doses of these two hormones.
The Pill is available at the pharmacy with a prescription from a doctor.

IUD Options
There are two types of IUD— Copper IUD and Hormonal IUD. An IUD is a long acting and reversible form of contraception. While the details differ, IUD's provide very effective protection for years and don't require you to prevent pregnancy daily.
Before you start an IUD you will need an assessment by your doctor or nurse to check your general health and suitability.

Diaphragms
A diaphragm is a barrier method of contraception for women.
It's a shallow dome of silicone with a firm and flexible rim. A diaphragm stops sperm getting into the uterus during sexual intercourse.
Diaphragms are not as effective as some other methods of contraception including the pill, implant and intrauterine devices (IUDs). The diaphragm is 86% effective in perfect use, and 82% effective in real life or "typical" use.
