We are pleased to advise that the HSE’s Free Contraception scheme, first announced in September 2022 for women aged 17-25, will be extended from January 1st, 2023 to include all women aged 26.
This means that women aged 17-26 will be able to avail of free contraception consultations with one of our GPs, as well as free fitting of Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) options, which include:
- Mirena / Kyleena coils
- Implanon (“bar”)
- Depo injections
The scheme covers the cost of the above devices, and also covers the cost of contraceptive pills (“Combined pill” or “Mini pill”) for all eligible women.
When booking your GP appointment, please mention that you are booking a Contraception consultation. Further information on your options is available on the HSE’s website.
