To mark World Contraception Day (26 September 2018), Marie Stopes Australia has created a new web resource to help women re-assess their contraception at various life stages and reflect on a broader range of contraceptive alternatives that might suit them.
To help facilitate contraception information exchange between practitioners and patients, Marie Stopes Australia has created a specialised contraception kit for your practice.
Each kit includes:
- Campaign posters; perfect for familiarising patients with the concept of reviewing their birth control methods.
- Method brochures for display on your coffee tables that help break down each contraception method; how they work, the benefits and pitfalls, with up-to-date typical efficacy rates.
- A deck of flip cards; these cards are a valuable tool for explaining the range of available methods with patients, easily and clearly displaying each method available in Australia.
- Take away cards; these cards provide patients with the URL to our contraceptive match quiz, so they can do the preliminary research at home on their own or with their partner.
Download a decision guide
You can also download and print a ‘Decision Making Conversation Guide’ for your patients. Similar to the’“Find Your Perfect Partner’ quiz, it provides an easy-to-navigate flowchart that covers some basic questions in the contraception decision making process.

There are a variety of contraception-related events and training opportunities coming up, both online and offline, which are being offered by different organisations. Check the event schedule to find both free and paid education and training opportunities in your area.
