Contraception (Family Planning Options)
AMAC knows that when you need contraception, you want it as soon as possible.
Right now, we have a waiting list, we schedule appointments every day and try to add more appointments each week when we can. If you are having an abortion at AMAC, we can provide most types of contraception on the same day as your procedure. For people who are eligible for healthcare in New Zealand, long-acting contraceptives are fully funded by Te Whatu Ora for those living in the Waitematā, Auckland, and Counties Manukau areas as part of your abortion care.
We offer these types of contraception:
-
Hormonal contraception – Depo Provera and the Birth Control Pill, these can be given once only, here, with an abortion.
-
Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) – Hormonal or copper intrauterine devices (IUDs) or implant rods, which can be inserted, removed, or replaced.
-
Barrier methods – like condoms.
-
Emergency contraception.
Contraception service prices:
Women who live in Auckland, Counties Manukau, or Waitematā and are eligible for healthcare may be able to get insertions, removals, or replacements at our clinic for free. You may qualify for this funding if you meet one or more of these criteria:
-
You are of Māori or Pasifika ethnicity.
-
You have a current Community Services Card.
-
You live with or experience financial hardship (determined by your address under the Deprivation Index or Quintile).
-
You are at risk of a poor outcome from an unplanned pregnancy, as a result of but not limited to, treatment for mental health or addiction.
We also offer funding to help with transport costs if getting to the clinic is a barrier for you.
