Is an IUD right for you?
- You want long-acting contraception you don't have to think about every day
- You'd like your current IUD removed or replaced
- You'd like to talk through your contraception options first
Cost
No out-of-pocket fee for the procedure
IUD insertion and removal are bulk-billed with a valid Medicare card. We insert both hormonal and copper IUDs.
The IUD itself is bought from a pharmacy with your prescription. Hormonal IUDs are PBS-subsidised; copper IUDs are not, so they usually cost more.
What to expect
1. Consultation
Your doctor discusses your health history and options, and whether an IUD suits you.
2. Procedure appointment
You collect your IUD from a pharmacy with your prescription and bring it along. Insertion, removal or replacement is done in our private treatment room.
3. Follow-up
A check-in afterwards to make sure everything is settled and you're comfortable.

Common questions
How much does it cost?+
IUD insertion and removal are bulk-billed, so there is no out-of-pocket fee for the procedure with a valid Medicare card. The IUD itself is bought from a pharmacy with your prescription — hormonal IUDs are PBS-subsidised, while copper IUDs are not, so they usually cost more.
What types of IUD are there?+
Dr Wan and Dr Sue insert both hormonal and copper (non-hormonal) IUDs. Your doctor will explain the differences and help you choose what suits you best.
Can I have my IUD removed or replaced?+
Yes. IUDs can be removed at any time, and many people have a new one placed at the same appointment when the old one is due for replacement.
