Default Contraceptive implant

Can anybody help?
Do you know if you can get the three year contraceptive implant in Australia?
If so can you just go to your doctor and get it done or do you have to go through the hospital?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sasha

Yes you can get it. Most doctors don't do it (only the ones that have had specific training for it). Our doctor said he didn't do it because he couldn't afford the additional insurance premiums - he reckons there are loads of claims made against doctors for it!!

There was a thread about this some months ago (Called the Girlie Thread or something) Do a search because it had some good info in it.

I have the implant over here, and I think the general consensus was, you can get pretty much anything over in Oz that you can get in the UK.
