Giving Australians a Choice
At MSI Vasectomy Australia we believe that reproductive health is about choice. Providing vasectomies means giving families a choice about how many children they have. It means giving men the choice to take responsibility for contraception in their relationship. It means giving couples a choice when it comes to permanent contraception. The choice is provided through a relatively non-invasive and simple procedure.
We understand that access to reproductive services can be limited by people’s financial circumstances, and the upfront costs associated with elective surgery, which is why we have worked to ensure that many of our clinics are licensed for private health claiming purposes – one of the few vasectomy providers in the country with clinics that can accept private health insurance.
Our Commitment
to Quality
Why choose MSI Vasectomy Australia?
At MSI our doctors use the “MSI No Scalpel Open Ended technique” where we use an inert permanent suture rather than a metal clip (which can fall off) or a dissolving suture (which can cause inflammation). We also use Bupivacaine local anaesthetic which has a longer duration of action and may protect from chronic post operative pain. Our specialised team of practitioners ensure you receive the best standard of care before, during and after your appointment with us.

Is vasectomy covered by Medicare Australia?
Yes, vasectomies are covered by Medicare in Australia. This means that Medicare will pay a portion of the cost of the procedure, which can help to reduce out-of-pocket expenses for patients. However, patients may still need to pay a gap fee, depending on the cost of the procedure and their individual circumstances.
Do you have to pay for a vasectomy in Australia?
While vasectomies are covered by Medicare (and in many cases Private Health Insurance) in Australia, patients may still have to pay a portion of the cost out of pocket. The exact amount of the fee may depend on a number of factors, such as the provider, location, and any additional tests or procedures that may be required.
At what age can you get a vasectomy in Australia?
The legal age for getting a vasectomy in Australia is 18. However, most doctors recommend that men wait until they are at least 25 years old and have considered their decision carefully. It is important for patients to discuss their options with a healthcare provider and to carefully consider the potential benefits and risks before undergoing the procedure.
How effective is a vasectomy?
Vasectomy is the only permanent method of contraception for men, with a failure rate of around 0.1%. While the procedure does not provide immediate protection against pregnancy, it is effective once a follow-up semen analysis confirms that there is no longer any sperm in the semen.
