You shouldn’t have to pay up to get down, safely.
ANNOUNCING our plan to make contraception free in Victoria so that people can access the pill, IUDs, Implanon and condoms.
IUD insertion fees charged by GPs will be subsidised under our plan, encouraging more GPs to offer the service.
Condoms would be made available for free at secondary schools.
We’d also provide more funding to give migrant women better access to sexual health, contraception, antenatal care and health education.
The most effective contraception choices shouldn’t only be obtainable to those who can afford them.
Making contraception free and more readily available is an effective way of empowering everyone, especially young people, to look after their health and the health of others.
