Contraception Options Finder

Choosing the right contraception is an important and personal decision. It can depend on your health, lifestyle and your individual needs and preferences. This tool helps you explore your options, learn about different types of contraception and find what might work best for you and/or your partner(s).

About this tool

The Contraception Options Finder was made by health experts and shaped by feedback from real people. It gives clear, evidence-based and reliable information, regardless of sex and gender.

This tool includes information about all the types of contraception that are available in Australia. While it can help you explore options, it does not replace medical advice. Speak to a healthcare professional for advice tailored to your individual needs.

Browse our FAQs to learn more about contraception, sexual health and access to healthcare services in Australia.

Consent is a must

If you are thinking about having sex, it is very important that you understand consent. If you are under 18 years old and you want to learn more, visit All about consentOpens in a new tab. For adults, visit Sexual consentOpens in a new tab.

Are you under 18 years old?

You can use the tool on your own or with someone you trust. If you'd like support, but don't have an adult you feel safe with, you can visit a GP or sexual health clinic. Alternatively, you can call Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800 for general support and advice about contraception and any other issues. It's free, and what you talk about stays private (that means just between you and them). You can also visit their website: https://kidshelpline.com.au/Opens in a new tab

This tool provides general information about contraception and does not replace medical advice. Speak to a healthcare professional for advice tailored to your individual needs.
