Reproductive & Family Planning care at our clinic is for women and people assigned female at birth of all ages. It covers contraception, fertility, preconception planning and pregnancy related questions. If you are thinking about avoiding pregnancy or planning one, a Reproductive & Family Planning appointment is a good place to start.

You do not need a referral to see a GP for Reproductive & Family Planning. You can book directly with your chosen doctor or the first available GP. If you later need to see a specialist, your GP will provide a referral and explain why it is recommended.

Reproductive & Family Planning appointments can cover many contraception options, including short term and longer acting methods. Your GP will ask about your health, lifestyle and preferences, then explain the pros and cons of each option. Together you can choose a method that feels right for you and your situation.

Choosing contraception is a key part of Reproductive & Family Planning. Your GP will consider your age, medical history, period pattern, future pregnancy plans and how you feel about taking medicines or having procedures. You will have time to ask questions so you can make an informed decision.

Some GPs can provide procedures for certain long acting contraception devices as part of Reproductive & Family Planning care. If your GP does not offer a specific procedure, they can refer you to another doctor or clinic that does. You will always have a chance to discuss the steps and any costs beforehand.

Preconception care is an important part of Reproductive & Family Planning. Your GP will review your medical history, medicines, vaccinations, family history and lifestyle. They may recommend blood tests or supplements and suggest steps that support a healthy pregnancy. It is helpful to book a longer appointment if you have several questions.

Reproductive & Family Planning can include support for fertility concerns. As a general guide, many people see their GP if they have been trying to fall pregnant for 12 months, or 6 months if they are older or have known medical conditions. You can also book sooner if you are worried at any time.
