MSI St Kilda (Melbourne): Abortion, Contraception & Vasectomy Clinic

What to Expect During Your Abortion and Vasectomy Appointment

At MSI St Kilda, we’re committed to ensuring your visit is met with clear communication, respectful and compassionate care, and professional support across all services.

Abortion Services

Our abortion services provide clear guidance and support throughout the process. For medical abortion, your visit will include an ultrasound, a private consultation, and the first medication taken at the clinic. The second medication is taken at home after 24–48 hours. Cramping and bleeding are expected, so we recommend allowing time to rest during recovery. For surgical abortion, your time at the clinic will include preparation, anaesthetic, and recovery. A support person will need to accompany you home if sedation is used.

Vasectomy Services

A vasectomy at our St Kilda clinic is a straightforward day procedure. After a consultation, the vasectomy is completed in under 30 minutes using either local anaesthetic or intravenous sedation. Most people experience only mild discomfort afterwards, and light activity can usually resume within two days. You’ll also receive clear aftercare instructions and a follow-up semen test to confirm the procedure’s success.

Whether you’re accessing abortion services or vasectomy care, our experienced team is here to support your decision and provide the highest standard of care.
