Harding Street Medical Centre offers a dedicated IUD clinic, providing comprehensive care for individuals seeking this highly effective contraceptive and period management option 

An Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped device inserted into a person’s uterus by their doctor. It’s a long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) that can remain in place for 5 years or longer, depending on the type and reason for use. Both copper and hormonal IUDs can be inserted in this clinic

IUDs are an excellent choice for:

Highly effective contraception (over 99% effective).
Reducing heavy menstrual bleeding.
Helping to control painful periods.
Managing symptoms associated with endometriosis.
Supporting management plans for PCOS.
As a component of Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT or Hormone Replacement Therapy).

A Patient-Centred Approach to IUD Insertion

At Harding Street Medical Centre, we prioritise your comfort. We are pleased to offer various pain relief options during IUD insertion, including local anaesthetic and a Penthrox inhaler.

Booking Your IUD Appointment:

To discuss whether an IUD is the right option for you, please book a double appointment for a Pre-IUD Assessment with Dr. Angie Read. Dr. Read is a GP with advanced training in IUD insertion and family planning. This pre-assessment can be conducted as a telephone consult if preferred, but a double appointment is still required.

Cost of IUD Insertion at HSMC (Out-of-Pocket Fee):

$200.00
<22 years old: $175.00

IUD Removal:

If you require an IUD removal, please speak to our nurses before booking a double appointment for this procedure. IUD removals are charged at our usual consultation rates, with no additional fee.
