In Melbourne, you can find an incredible amount of health care resources, many of which are progressive and LGBT-friendly. While you'll need a prescription for contraception, the prescription process is rather straight-forward, and you may even be able to get a prescription online. As for emergency contraception, it's fully legal for all ages and no prescription is required. There is access to both PrEP and PEP, and many health centers, both large and small, provide STI/STD testing. Regarding abortions, Melbourne is under Victoria state law, which is one of the most open in the world. You can get an abortion for up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, and if two physicians recommend it, you can even get an abortion after that time. | In Melbourne, you can find an incredible amount of health care resources, many of which are progressive and LGBT-friendly.
