Contraception Hillcrest
Contraception for Hillcrest Patients
If you need a GP and live in or around Hillcrest, you can book with Pallara Medical at Tenancy T4.1, 201 Gooderham Road. We’re open weekdays from 8:30am, with late appointments until 9pm on Wednesdays. Our doctors provide consultations, health checks, vaccinations and care for long-term conditions.
The Pill
Oral contraceptive pills are taken daily. Your GP will check your health history and blood pressure before prescribing, and review how it’s working for you.
At Pallara Medical, we believe reproductive health is an integral part of your overall wellbeing, and our approach is always holistic, sensitive, and strictly confidential. We create a safe and judgement-free space where you can openly discuss your most personal concerns and aspirations, knowing that your privacy and comfort are absolutely paramount.
Modern clinics like Pallara Medical also use digital tools, offering online bookings and reminders, making access to care more flexible, especially for busy professionals or parents who find it hard to attend in person.
Our team is always ready to discuss any questions or concerns you may have regarding vaccine safety, efficacy, or scheduling, to help you feel informed and confident in your decision to protect yourself and your loved ones through immunisation. We believe an informed patient is an empowered patient.
Emergency Contraception
If you’ve had unprotected sex or your contraception has failed, emergency contraception is more effective the sooner it’s taken, so it’s important to seek advice as soon as possible. See emergency contraception.
We also facilitate on-site insertions and removals of contraceptive devices, providing continuous, smooth support at every stage of your reproductive health pathway.
Referrals for Permanent Contraception: While surgical procedures like vasectomy (for men) or tubal ligation (for women) are performed by specialists, we offer initial consultations and provide essential referrals for these permanent birth control options.
Our clinic provides a discreet and non-judgemental environment where your privacy is paramount. From the collection process to the delivery of results, every step adheres to strict privacy protocols.
Finding the Right Contraception
The right contraception depends on your health, plans and preferences. Your GP can talk through the options and help you choose one that suits you.
We empower you with clear, evidence-based information, often utilising visual aids and detailed handouts, to help you feel confident and comfortable with the decision you make. Our team remains a dedicated resource for any questions or concerns that may arise, offering ongoing support and adjustments to your plan as your personal and health needs evolve, fostering a true partnership.
We always take the time to discuss the implications of your results with you in detail, providing clear explanations and answering any questions you may have, ensuring you are fully informed about your health status and any recommended next steps.
Contraceptive Implant
The implant is a small rod placed under the skin of the upper arm and lasts for several years. See contraceptive implant insertion and removal.
Once your X-ray has been completed at the imaging centre, the report and images are sent directly and securely to our clinic for your GP’s review. For medico-legal and privacy reasons, we do not accept physical X-ray images directly from patients; all results are downloaded electronically into our system.
Additionally, we assist with catch-up vaccinations for any missed doses and can provide specific immunisations required for certain occupations. Rest assured, all your vaccination records are meticulously kept and reported to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR), ensuring a complete and accurate history of your protective health.
