⚠️ Missed Your Contraception? Don’t Panic! ⚠️

Over the Christmas and New Year break, one of our most-visited pages was “What to do if you miss contraception” — and it’s easy to see why. Life gets busy, routines change, and mistakes happen. You’re not alone 💛

Here’s what to do next:
✅ Oops- missed using protection? Emergency contraception can help — take it as soon as possible. Emergency contraception pills are available over the counter at pharmacies, emergency departments, and Family Planning Tasmania. You do not need a prescription (script)
✅ Restart your usual method as directed
✅ Get advice early — our clinicians can help you work out the best next steps
✅ Don’t guess or wait — acting quickly really matters

Your s*xual and reproductive health matters all year round — even after festive chaos, travel, or big weekends.

✈️ Packing Tip for 2026:
Don’t forget your sunscreen… and don’t add an STI to your baggage! 💼💛

An STI (s*xually transmitted infection) is an infection passed on through s*xual contact — for example chlamydia, gonorrhoea, or syphilis.
👉 About 80% of people with an STI don’t have any symptoms, so you might not know you have one unless you get tested.

Travel is for adventure, not surprises in your health. Stay smart with your s*xual and reproductive care:
✅ Pack your contraceptives & medications
✅ Know where to find clinics or pharmacies at your destination
✅ Get a check-up or STI test before you go
✅ Practice safer s*x and carry condoms

Your health travels with you — let’s keep it all good vibes and no unexpected souvenirs.

🎉 New Year, Who’s Got Their Health Goals? 🎉

2026 is here — time to stop ghosting your s*xual and reproductive health! 💛 Self-care isn’t just bubble baths and cozy socks… it’s also cervical screenings, STI checks, and routine health check-ups.

✨ Start the year like a boss:
✅ Book that long-overdue cervical screening
✅ Check in on your STI status
✅ Schedule those routine check-ups you keep “thinking about”

Because nothing says “New Year, New Me” like being on top of your health. Your future self will thank you (and probably high-five you too). 💪

📲 Booking is easy — let’s make 2026 the year you own your health!

🎉 2001 babies, say hi to 25 this year – and your first cervical screening!

If you:
✅ Have a cervix, and
✅ Have ever had s*xual contact with another person (regardless of gender or s*xual identity)

… it’s time to get screened when you turn 25.

Cervical screening checks for HPV, the most common cause of cervical cancer. Most people with HPV don’t have symptoms, which is why screening is so important.

You can have your sample taken by a healthcare provider using a speculum, or you can collect it yourself using a swab. Both are safe and accurate.

When 25 hits, makes sure to book it in – it only takes a few minutes!
