As one of the most affordable options of vasectomy Blacktown men can access, the duration of the procedure is under 30 minutes, and is performed by Dr Geoff Cashion, a well-respected surgeon who is one of the most renowned surgeons on this procedure in Australia. The no-scalpel vasectomy offers the lowest risk of complication, especially when in the hands of Dr Cashion.

What are the benefits of a vasectomy for me?
Men tend to consider the vasectomy procedure when they decide to no longer have children and they are looking for a permanent method of contraception. A vasectomy will close the sperm-carrying tubes meaning the chance of pregnancy is nil. The procedure itself is performed in under 30 minutes under a general anaesthetic.
Dr Cashion performs over 2000 vasectomies a year and is a popular option for men around Australia due to his affordability and skill. Men who wish to undergo this procedure can have a consultation via the clinic, or over the phone for a quick, life-changing process that gives peace of mind to those who no longer wish to risk an unexpected pregnancy.
Why do so many men choose Dr Cashion as their first choice?
Dr Cashion is a specialist when it comes to the no-scalpel vasectomy technique and his skill level has made him one of the busiest doctors in Australia. He was trained in medicine at the University of Queensland in 2002 and has since performed thousands of successful vasectomy procedures.
His credentials include being a fellow of the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (FACRRM) and the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (FRCEM).
Dr Cashion performs around 40 vasectomies a week thanks to his high skill-level and friendly approach.

We recommend reading the “Preparing for your Vasectomy” page which provides all of the information you will need. Our team is also on hand to answer any questions, to ensure you are completely comfortable before proceeding.
The procedure can be reversed, however, this is an expensive process and is not 100% effective. Reversals are not covered by Medicare, often with an associated cost upwards of $5000. Due to this, we recommend entering the procedure as if it is permanent.
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.
Absolutely not, it is crucial that you understand the vasectomy procedure does not offer immediate results. Other forms of contraception must be maintained until our team has confirmed you are no longer at risk.
We will do a semen analysis three months after your procedure to confirm that you are sterile. It is important to account for remaining semen that may exist within your tubes post-procedure; it can take some time until it is completely clear.
Due to Dr Cashion’s in-depth experience, his patients are afforded a significantly reduced rate of complication. It is still important, however, to consider that all surgical procedures have an element of risk.
All risks will be detailed on the consent form, the primary ones being:
- Bruising, which is normal and will usually disappear after one week
- Mild pain and swelling, also normal and likely to decrease in a few days
Less common complications include bruising within the scrotum, a risk that can be significantly lowered by the avoidance of heavy lifting in the days after your procedure. You will require some time off work if this is a role within your job.
This depends on the type of work you do, roles with manual labour may need some downtime as you cannot lift anything heavy for the first week. Less physically demanding positions like office worked can be resumed straight away.
If required we can provide you with a medical certificate should you need to stay home after your procedure.
Not immediately, however, there is usually no issue with resuming sexual activity after one week. It is important to note that everyone has a different healing ability, so it is best to take it slow and ensure other forms of contraception are used until our team has validated the effectiveness of your procedure.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
