Some states also have programs that focus on free condom access for youth (such as the [https://www.fpnsw.org.au/media-news/news-events/health-promotion-projects/condom-credit-card-project NSW Condom Credit Card (CCC)] program).

* As for '''IUDs''', you can get them at various clinics and health care facilities, such as [https://www.mariestopes.org.au/ Marie Stopes Australia]. 
** One female traveler wrote about the Mirena that they got in Australia: "It lasts up to 5 years, needs to be fitted by an OBGYN (some charge to put it in, some don't), costs about $40 to buy the IUD if you have a Medicare card and about $245 if you don't."
** Tip from Marie Stopes Australia Staff: "Many people are inclined to get their IUD with their GP, however we strongly recommend that they do with a proceduralist, like Marie Stopes Australia. Many GPs haven’t performed an insertion at all, or don’t perform them regularly and this makes the risk of perforation or other side effects much higher. A proceduralist, like Marie Stopes or Family Planning are people who specialise in doing the insertion and removal of contraception and might perform it up to 10 times a day, so they are going to be much more skilled at minimising pain and the risk of side effects."
* If you want a '''contraceptive implant''', you can get them at various clinics and health care facilities, such as [https://www.mariestopes.org.au/ Marie Stopes Australia]. One brand you may find is Implanon.<ref>[http://contraceptive.ippf.org/search?search.searchtext=&search.component=&search.countrycode=AU IPFF Australia]</ref> 
* If you want a '''contraceptive shot/injectable''', you can get them at various clinics and health care facilities, such as [https://www.mariestopes.org.au/ Marie Stopes Australia]. Some brands you can expect to find are Depo-Provera and Depo-Ralovera in Australia.<ref>[http://contraceptive.ippf.org/search?search.searchtext=&search.component=&search.countrycode=AU IPFF Australia]</ref>
* The '''contraceptive patch''' is not available in Australia, as of February 2019.
