Our Brisbane clinic offers a wide range of contraception options designed to suit your individual needs. From long-term solutions to daily methods, we’re here to provide expert advice and care tailored to you.
Implanon
A flexible, small rod inserted under the skin of your upper arm by one of our skilled GPs.
- How it works: Releases a steady dose of progestin, preventing ovulation and thickening cervical mucus.
- Duration: Lasts up to 3 years with minimal maintenance.
- Who it’s a good fit for: Women seeking a long-term, low-maintenance contraceptive option. Ideal for those who prefer a hands-off method without daily attention.
- Our clinic specialises in Implanon insertion in a comfortable, supportive environment.
Hormonal & Copper IUDs
Small, T-shaped devices inserted into the uterus by our trained GPs.
- How it works: Hormonal IUDs release progestin to prevent ovulation, while copper IUDs release ions to prevent fertilisation.
- Duration: Long-lasting solutions effective for 5 to 10 years.
- Who it’s a good fit for: Women looking for a long-term, reversible contraception method that doesn’t require daily attention. Ideal for those who prefer not to take oral contraception and want reliable, long-term protection.
- We provide Brisbane IUD insertion with expert care and aftercare support.
- All our IUDs are inserted after local anesthetic is applied to the cervix, this will help to numb the cervix. If you are concerned about this not being sufficient or it becomes painful during the procedure we also offer Methoxyflurane “Green Whistle”. Please discuss your pain relief requirements with your doctor.
Contraceptive pill
A daily oral contraceptive that prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the uterine lining.
- How it works: Available as combined (estrogen and progestin) or progestin-only pills.
- Additional benefits: Menstrual regulation and reducing cramps.
- Who it’s a good fit for: Women who want a flexible, daily contraceptive option and additional benefits like menstrual cycle regulation. Suitable for those who are comfortable with daily medication and want more control over their reproductive health.
