Same day emergency contraception in Carindale, confidentially.
Same day emergency contraception in Carindale is available through a confidential appointment with one of our GPs. Timing matters, so we'll match our advice to when it happened and talk through ongoing options if you'd like.
Same day emergency contraception, then a plan for next time
Same day emergency contraception solves today’s problem, but many people also want to avoid being in the same situation again. At Carindale Doctors, your same-day appointment covers both. First, your GP provides the emergency option that will work best given your timing. Then, if you’d like, we talk about a reliable ongoing method that fits your life.
Some people choose to start a new method straight away, while others prefer to come back once their next period arrives. A copper IUD can even act as emergency contraception and ongoing contraception at the same time. Whatever you decide, the appointment is confidential and focused on what you want.
In short: Carindale Doctors provides confidential same day emergency contraception inside Westfield Carindale, plus optional advice on ongoing contraception so you’re protected in future. Same-day slots are held each morning, children 16 and under are bulk billed, and Medicare rebates apply where eligible.
- Same day emergency contraception matched to your timing

Things to watch for after emergency contraception
Most people have no problems after emergency contraception. Keep an eye on the following:
- Your next period: it may be a few days early or late.
- A late period: take a pregnancy test if it's more than seven days late.
- Further unprotected sex: an emergency pill doesn't protect you for the rest of the cycle.
- STI symptoms: such as unusual discharge or pain, which need testing.
Use condoms or another method until your ongoing contraception is working.

During your appointment, you can expect:

- Advice on starting ongoing contraception
- When to take a pregnancy test
- STI testing if you'd like it
