* 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."
