Pharmacists help improve access to hormonal contraception

Access to sexual, reproductive and maternal health care should be accessible for all Australian women. Two in three Australian women between 18 and 44 years of age use some form of contraception and 83% have used contraception at some point in their lives. Pharmacists are improving access to contraception for Australian women.

Depending on where you live in Australia, your community pharmacist will be able to offer you different options for hormonal contraception. Talk to your local pharmacist today to discuss your options.
