Long-acting methods

Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) methods don’t rely on you remembering to take them, but they do need a trained doctor or nurse to administer or fit them for you.

These types of contraception are often inserted or injected and can remain effective for a long time. LARC includes implants, injections and the coil.​

Not sure which type of contraception is right for you? Worried because you've had sex without a condom? Let us help you choose the right option.
