In Australia, it's recommended that women aged 25 to 74 undergo a Cervical Screening Test every five years, provided previous results were normal. Regular screening is essential even if you're not currently sexually active, as HPV (which can cause cervical cancer) can remain dormant for years.

We offer a variety of contraception methods, including oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and Implanon implants. Our GPs will discuss your health, lifestyle, and family planning goals to help you choose the best option for you.
