No. Your vasectomy procedure can be booked directly through us.

Most procedures take about 15-20 minutes.

It is our recommendation that you have someone drive you home by private vehicle or cab / Uber. Public transport is also acceptable.

If this is not possible it’s important you wait at least 20 minutes after leaving the procedure room, and feel 100% fine, before you commence driving. If you feel lightheaded while driving, pull over immediately.

It would be best if you read our Preparing for your Vasectomy page to understand all of the elements required from you. Our team is always on hand to guide you through this process.

If this question is a serious consideration in your process of deciding on a vasectomy, you should think twice about the procedure. While yes, vasectomies can be reversed, it is an expensive process that will not always work or be covered under your Medicare plan. Consider this procedure as permanent contraception.

Vasectomy Australia’s highly skilled and experienced doctors already significantly reduce the rate of complications from your vasectomy, but all surgical procedures come with an element of risk that you should be aware of. We have outlined the full list of potential complications in your consent form, the most common ones to be aware of, however, are bruising or mild pain and swelling, both of which will commonly settle a few days after your procedure.

If your job role requires heavy lifting, you will need to refrain from that activity (inclusive of weight training) for about a week. Either make sure you get some time off work (for which a certificate can be provided) or ask for light duties. If you work in an office-based role or similar, you will often be able to return to work straight away. Some men recover quicker than others from a vasectomy, as it is all based on your individual healing ability. In cases where the ability is a bit slower, it may take up to two weeks for a full recovery. The average time to feel back to normal is about 7 days.

All of our vasectomies are performed under local anaesthetic. If you prefer to have your procedure under sedation or general anaesthetic, please see your GP who can organise a referral to a urologist.

Once you have had your vasectomy and paid for it, we will process your Medicare rebate on your behalf.  You will usually receive your payment into the bank account you have nominated with Medicare within 48 hours.  If you have not received the payment 1 week after your vasectomy please email info@vasectomyaustralia.com.au and we will chase it up.

To answer this question there is some good news and bad news.

The bad news: you won’t be able to use your private health insurance when you have a vasectomy with us.

That’s because we do our vasectomies in medical centres rather than in a private hospital. Private health insurance is only of benefit when you have your procedure performed in a hospital or day surgery by a urologist.

So what’s the good news?

The good news is that it will almost certainly work out more affordable to have your procedure with Vasectomy Australia.

This is because of a few reasons:

1. Private Health usually requires you pay an excess. This excess might be $500 or even up to $1000. A vasectomy with us is only $573 out of pocket.
2. Your urologist will almost certainly have a gap on their fee. This will vary but again could range from a few hundred dollars to over $1000.
3. Nearly all surgeons will want you to be asleep when you have your vasectomy. This means an anaesthetic fee and – you guessed it – a gap fee.

Once you add up these 3 fees you may end up being $2000 or more out of pocket. With insurance!

When you choose Vasectomy Australia you know exactly what your fee will be – $573 out of pocket. No if, ands or maybes. No “it depends on your health fund”. No “you will have to check with the anaesthetist”.

Just one fee so you can know exactly what you will pay and can plan for this. Privately insured or not, you will be getting your procedure with one of Australia’s top vasectomists at an affordable price.
