Contraception
Laws & Social Stigmas
In Australia, you will need a prescription from a physician to obtain birth control. However, these consultations are usually pretty straight-forward and do not typically require pelvic exams.

- The Royal Women's Hospital: "The Women’s is Australia’s first and largest specialist hospital dedicated to improving the health of all women and newborns." Address: 20 Flemington Rd, Parkville, Victoria. Main Reception Phone: (03) 8345 2000.
