Family Planning in Tewantin
Tewantin Family Planning Services
At Tewantin Medical Centre, our family planning services provide confidential, compassionate care tailored to your reproductive health needs. We support individuals and couples at every stage, from contraception advice to pre-pregnancy planning and fertility discussions, ensuring you have clear, reliable information. Our team works with you to make informed choices that align with your health, lifestyle, and future goals.
Appointments may cover contraceptive options, including oral contraceptives, long-acting reversible contraception, and intrauterine devices (IUDs), as well as fertility awareness and planning for a healthy pregnancy. We offer Implanon removals and insertions, as well as Mirena removals. We can also discuss sexual health screening and, where appropriate, link your care with our dedicated women’s health and men’s health services.
Whether you’re preparing to start a family, preventing pregnancy, or reviewing your contraceptive method, our doctors provide personalised, evidence-based guidance in a safe and supportive setting. We offer shared care with your Obstetrician / Gynaecologist and take the time to understand your medical history, lifestyle, and goals, so we can help you explore all available options and choose the approach that feels right for you. To arrange a consultation, call our friendly team on

What to Expect During Your Consultation
Every family planning appointment is tailored to your individual needs and stage of life. Your doctor will begin by discussing your health history, lifestyle, and reproductive goals, ensuring the advice you receive is safe, relevant, and aligned with your circumstances. This collaborative approach helps you make informed decisions about your reproductive health.
If you’re exploring contraception, you’ll receive clear information about all available methods, how they work, and possible side effects. For those preparing for pregnancy, the discussion may include pre-conception health checks, fertility awareness, nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and relevant vaccinations. Sexual health screening can also be arranged for added reassurance.
Follow-up consultations are available to review your chosen plan and make adjustments if your needs or circumstances change. Where more specialised care is required — such as fertility investigations or obstetric services — your doctor can coordinate timely referrals to trusted providers, helping ensure your reproductive health journey is supported from start to finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a family planning consultation?
A family planning consultation is tailored to your needs and may include advice on contraception, pre-pregnancy planning, fertility awareness, and sexual health screening. Your doctor will review your health history, lifestyle, and goals to provide evidence-based guidance, ensuring you can make informed decisions about your reproductive health and wellbeing.
Do I need a referral for a family planning appointment?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with the clinic for a family planning consultation. If specialised care is required — such as fertility investigations or obstetric services — your doctor will arrange timely referrals to trusted providers, ensuring your care is continuous, coordinated, and suited to your personal circumstances.
What should I bring to a family planning appointment?
It’s helpful to bring a list of any medications you take, relevant medical history, and details about your menstrual cycle or reproductive health. If you’re considering pregnancy, bring information about your vaccination history and any past pregnancies. This ensures your doctor has all the information needed to give safe, tailored advice.
Is my family planning appointment confidential?
Yes. All discussions and medical records are treated with the highest level of confidentiality. Your information is stored securely within your patient file and will only be shared with other health professionals directly involved in your care when you have provided consent, or in situations where disclosure is required by law. This includes rare cases where there may be a serious risk to your safety or the safety of others.
