Thinking about an IUD for contraception?

An Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a small, highly effective contraceptive device that is inserted into the uterus. Depending on the type, an IUD can provide reliable contraception for several years.

There are both hormonal and non-hormonal (copper) IUDs available, and the best choice depends on your individual health, lifestyle, and reproductive goals.

Before an IUD can be inserted, you'll need to book an initial consultation with one of our doctors. During this appointment, we'll discuss your contraceptive options, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether an IUD is the right choice for you.

Good news! For eligible patients, IUD insertion may be bulk billed through Medicare, helping to reduce out-of-pocket costs.

If you're considering an IUD or would like to explore your contraception options, contact The Launceston Women's Health Clinic to book your initial consultation today or click on the link below to make your booking and to find out more.

Exciting Update from The Launceston Women’s Health Clinic

We’re pleased to announce that The Launceston Women’s Health Clinic is now offering accessible and affordable contraception options for our community.

Our clinic now provides:

• Implanon (contraceptive implant) insertion and removal
• IUD (intrauterine device) insertions

Best of all, these procedures are fully bulk billed to Medicare, meaning there are no out-of-pocket costs for eligible patients.

To ensure you receive the most appropriate care, an initial appointment with one of our GP's is required. During this consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your options and determine the contraception method that best suits your individual needs and health circumstances.

Please note that any initial & and follow up appointments will incur a fee, which can be claimed through Medicare.

Our experienced and caring medical team is committed to providing confidential, supportive, and professional care, helping you make informed choices about your reproductive health.

📞 Book your initial appointment today by calling our clinic on 03 6388 9284 or visiting our website https://launcestonwhc.com.au/services/

A letter from Dr Sue Mallett:

DEAR PATIENTS,

I am letting you know that I have made the decision to retire from clinical practice. My last day of work in the Launceston Women’s Health Clinic will be on 26th June 2025.

It has been a great privilege and pleasure to have looked after so many wonderful patients and I do thank you most sincerely for allowing me the opportunity to be involved in your care. I wish you all the very best for the future.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the wonderful work colleagues I have been privileged to work with over the last 30 years: reception staff, admin staff, nursing and medical friends. I have been so fortunate to work with some wonderful people over my career at West Tamar Health, Family Planning Tasmania, the Refugee Clinic and for the last 5 years at Launceston Women’s Health Clinic.

The Launceston Women’s Health Clinic will continue as normal providing care for existing and new patients, but from July 1st the practice will relocate to Norwood Medical Centre .

Kindest regards,
Sue
